I met a trucker just off the coast of Maine about 175 miles or so from the top of the state. We were both having a coffee break in some undesignated wide spot in the road. He noticed my Georgia … Continue reading
Okay, life from death is far from an original idea, but it’s the first thing I thought of when I saw this baby tree growing out of the dead scorched stump of another tree. I saw it from my car … Continue reading
