It's Earth Day, Charlie Brown

I remember that vividly from years ago and as a retired teacher i salute "Earth Day." It's a day that children, through some slight pressure from the powers that be, begin to appreciate the world around them. Most of this involves cleaning up parks by picking up someone's careless disregard for the nature around them, raking leaves, and planting flowers and tress. Which brings me to the picture I chose for "Earth Day." It's a picture of a conifer tree (pine). I thought of the poem by Joyce Kilmer .... Trees ..... and just wanted to share it with you on this special day. I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose ungry mouth is prest Against the sweet earth's flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that my in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom sonw has lain' Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only GOD can make a tree.
