I’m in a conundrum today. I can’t decide how to celebrate Arbor Day, which is coming up on the third Friday in February. You know, our own Locust Grove is one of 112 Tree Cities in Georgia. There’s a lot about trees in Georgia at the Arbor Day site. You know, we herons, like other birds, love trees. One of my favorite quotes is on the site: “The best friend of man on Earth is the tree; when we use the tree respectfully and economically, we have one of the greatest resources of the Earth.” Frank Lloyd Wright said that. The man knew something about building houses to complement the environment.
The folks at Heron Bay know about that, too. That’s one reason I like it so much here. Did you know that Minerva Properties, the developer of our fine community, won The 2006 Grand Award for Outstanding Development from the Georgia Urban Forestry Council for their responsible preservation of trees within the development? That was just one of the many reasons I bought my home here.
So how are you going to celebrate Arbor Day? I think I’ll go hug a tree. Hmmm…I wonder if I can get these wings around a big one…
