IF YOU WOULD KNOW STRENGTH AND PATIENCE...

~Hal Borland~



"Harold "Hal" Glen Borland (May 14, 1900 – February 22, 1978) was an American author, journalist and naturalist. In addition to writing many non-fiction and fiction books about the outdoors, he was a staff writer and editorialist for The New York Times. "

    perfect! I admire trees, big, small, tiny, blooms, no blooms, green or fall, all of them. Palms are at the top of the list, watching them, hearing them in the breeze... oaks are a special tree to me.

      Me too Sandra, we are definitely tree huggers :) We don't get the palms that you do but I do enjoy them when road tripping. Oaks are beautiful! Special to me also.
