plant a tree

Plant a tree. You found several here when you landed on this old earth and you've seen many cut down during your time. You probably cut down a few yourself. The children who are born after you've passed have a right to find a few trees standing. But they will not if every person who passes through this vale of tears cuts down a few and forgets to plant any. Plant a tree. Plant a dozen of them, and then you will have done something for the generations who follow you, even as someone did something for you ages ago.

  4. We are currently replacing two catalpa trees we cut down because they were hollow and dangerous. We planted a dogwood, and are taking our time choosing a second. Love your photograph. Pam
