The other day, I went in search of a long leaf pine. There are big loblolly pines in front of our house. Last month, the biggest was hit by lightning. It’s still hanging in there, but it reminded me that to be a good steward, I need to plant as well as appreciate. Long leaf pine is the state tree. It’s indigenous. So, I searched.

I went to the closest nursery  and asked if they had any. The following conversation ensued. “No, but Logan’s, down the road does.” “How do I get there?” “Here’s the address, use your car’s GPS.” “Don’t have one. Can you give me directions?”
