Quote of the Week
A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.- D. Elton Trueblood (American Quaker scholar)
I have always believed this and so have made a life's project of planting shade trees where ever I lived. I now have a forest of shade trees in my back yard. My challenge now is to find that perfect spot of sun where I can plant a tomato and some herbs.
