Planting Trees To Offset Political Pollution and Hot Air
Today time slipped away and I almost forgot to pick up my trees at the Soil and Water Conservation District Office. I arrived about closing time and the guy handed me my little bag of assorted trees and offered me some "extras" that were unclaimed to share with my neighbors. So now I have 9 bags containing 115 trees: 90 of Bald Cypress, Cherry Bark Oak, Crape Myrtle, Live Oak, Magnolia, Red Maple, and 25improved Loblolly Pines. I am so weary and cynical of all the "Hot Air" and "Political Pollution" spewing from the Presidential candidates that I am glad to plant these baby trees to do my part to help fight Global Warming aggravated by their verbosity....and we still have 10 more months left in this campaign to listen to them...Lord Help Us PLEASE!

Great post, I am in total agreement with you all the political hot air is to much for our environment. I am also going to plant some trees to counter balance it. PS – Thanks for stopping by my Blog, you have an excellent blog.

A Quote from Henry Mitchell's, The Essential Earthman
"Gardening is a long road, with many detours and way stations, and here we all are at one point or another. It's not a question of superior or inferior taste, merely a question of which detour we are on at the moment. Getting there (as they say) is not important; the wandering about in the wilderness or in the olive groves or in the bayous is the whole point."

I enjoyed your video ... and also seeing all those bags of trees. You'll have great fun planting them all...
Thank you so much for your kind heart and the prayers and well wishes while I was away.
You have an award over at my digs.

How I love this wonderful song (it's one of my favourite songs)! It fits so well with your beautiful pictures. Good digging with all your new trees!
