5. A Simple Act Of Kindness

The sad reality of this Bu$h*t demented society is that they are chopping those tree's down. Maybe to use the wood for fire in the caves in which they dwell.

9. Hey, great quote

I've got about 15 trees I grew from seeds growing in pots on my backyard patio. I'm dreaming of the day I can get a little piece of acreage outside town to plant them. I may have to give some of them away soon because they're getting a little too big for their britches...er, containers.
