Hi Larry, Happy new year! Hope it is a great one for your and yours. I NEED TO BUY A camera. I don't own a cell phone/camera thingy, so I need to get a good camera. I have a cheap one but I'm so bad at photos that it really is awful.
Story of the Aborigines: A white man bought a huge tract of land in Australia to make a cattle ranch. In the middle of the land was a huge patch of terrible thorns. he burned them, cut them, dug them, they just kept coming back. For five years he worked to get rid of them, and couldn't. Finally he went to the Aborigine elders and asked "How do I get rid of those thorns??" They told him to come back in a couple months. He was impatient, but finally they gave him the answer: "We think you should toss in some apples." "APPLES? Apples will kill the thorns?" Yes, they said. Because maybe in a few years a few of the apple seeds would sprout and an apple tree would grow. it would shade the thorns and make them weak. Then, when a few more years passed, the animals would come to eat the fruit and lie in the shade and they would trample the thorns. Eventually, the thorns would disappear. The white man was dumbfounded; "You expect me to do this? It will take years!!" "Yes," they said, "you had better go get those apples now. You've already wasted five years."
Take life slow and let Nature show you the way.
Best wishes, Annie
