Hello Friends, 
    
We took our dogs out on a white sand beach this beautiful February day.

They lay in the sun as beach dogs do and looked up as if to say,

'Spring is just around the corner, are you ready? Winter cannot stay!

Spring is coming!  We just don't know from what direction -which way?!'



Please call us if we can help with your spring planning
for spring planting!

Oak Tree
 
I took an acorn and put it in a pot.

I then covered it with earth, not a lot.
Great pleasure was mine watching it grow.
The first budding green came ever so slow.
I watered my plant twice a week
I knew I would transplant it down by the creek. 

One day it will be a giant oak,
To shield me from the sun a sheltering cloak.
Lovers will carve their initials in the bark,
An arrow through a heart they will leave their mark.
It will shelter those caught in a fine summers rain,
Under its leafy bows joy will be again.
Creatures of the wilds will claim it for their own,
Squirrels will reside here in their own home.
Birds will build nests and raise their young,
They will sing melodies a chorus well sung.
Under it's branches grass will grow,
Here and there a wild flower it's head will show.
My oak tree for hundreds of years will live.
Perhaps the most important thing I had to give.
