There is this place; a special place.

A place where nature is celebrated, trees grow strong and tall, and birds rejoice with each sunrise.

A place where dreams are formed in morning's midst, planted in the hearts and minds of a few, a thousand, and then into the millions.

People come to this place year after year. They play.  They laugh. They learn. They fall in love with each other as they embrace nature's many gifts which inspire their souls and warm their hearts.

There is this place; a special place.

A good place where good people come together to do good for the world.  A world that needs and often cries out for relief from the heavy burden placed on her.

"Plant trees.  Plant trees. Plant trees," we hear her cry.

"Please ... plant a tree," she continues to plea.

We respond ...

There is this place; a special place.

Arbor Day Farm and Lied Lodge located in Nebraska City, Nebraska, the soul and heart of the Arbor Day Foundation, is such a place.

Visit this place in your dreams or better yet in person.  You will be forever changed, and you will never look at a tree in the same way again.

Plant hope.  Plant love. Plant trees.

Until Next Friday,
