Hi Bill!

How lovely! I grew up on an 800 acre farm in the Ozark Mountains. It was a beautiful childhood that taught me the value of nature and conservation. Maybe this is why I've always enjoyed Frost's poetry. He deals with so much that I grew up exploring; though his experiences with wood and animals were in New England.

It's a little more difficult to teach my son the value of ecology on a suburban lot, but I'm giving it my best shot.
