I like to envision the people I know and meet in a unique way. I liken my friends and family and coworkers, well everyone I know actually, as a vegetable, a fruit, or a tree...I liken my own self as a pumpkin in the fall. Yep, I am a pumpkin type of human. This time of year is such fun for me. I love to look at pumpkins. I decided to share my pumpkin findings with you, here on my blog. Enjoy your fall! Get outside, take your shoes off, and feel the grass under your feet.
I write "A Year With the Trees" to bring an awareness to the world about the importance of trees to the future of our planet. Planting and being stewards of trees native to where you live is of vital importance for the health of animals, insects, birds, all life, including our own. I am studying the trees that are native to Southern Appalachia, where I live. This blog illustrates 92 trees and why we need to be responsible to keep native plant communities alive and well.
