PLANT A TREE, WATCH IT GROW


"Then he took some of the seed of the land And planted it in a fertile field; He placed it by abundant waters And set it like a willow tree. " Ezekiel 17:5

Well, imagine that.. it's the last Friday in April, and that means it's ARBOR DAY. It's a national holiday, but do you know what it's all about? It originated in Nebraska in the 1800s to replace trees lost on the plains. It was finally declared a national holiday, and there is even a website from the Arbor Day Foundation. Here you will learn a lot.. about trees. You can even buy trees from them- 10 trees for $10- your money will enroll you in the foundation. The site also has lots of things for kids.
