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!

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."
