GOD'S CATHEDRALWhoever walks a mountain trail The trees and flowers, like acolytes, The wind will whisper through the pines, -- Eleanor Fiock |
Did Ya Know...
A white oak in Athens, Georgia owns itself! No one can legally do anything to this tree, because many years ago, the farmer that owned it stipulated the following in his will: “In consideration of the great love I bear this tree and the great desire I have for its protection for all time, I convey to it entire possession of itself, and all land on eight feet of the tree on all sides.”
