Life, onions, and soup

"Life is like an onion; you peel it off one layer at a time. Sometimes you weep .... and sometimes you make soup." Carl Sandburg, as modified by Joan Y.

  4. I love the onion. How funny is it that you posted the day after and a day before my eldest (sweet sixteen!). I wonder if there's any meaning there? Keep drawing, you add beauty to our lives. Ciao
