No batteries, no winding up....Sun Dial

5 May 1999 (Pete Bliss)
The shadow of my finger cast
Divides the future from the past;
Before it stands the unborn hour
In darkness and beyond thy power;
Behind its unreturning line
The vanished hour no longer thine;
One hour alone is in thy hand,
The now on which the shadow stands.

Actually, this is the one I gave my husband last summer (for our 20th anniversary):

In addition to the time and date, it includes a compass, thermometer, and tide indicator.

I was going to inscribe "Let's navigate the next 20 years together" on the back, but the back face was already covered with information from the manufacturer, so he has to pretend about that part.

If you knew the two of us... I'm the one who has a problem being anywhere on time, and gets lost. (Neither of us is much for going to the beach, though. Not the crowded part with the sunbathers, anyway.)
