Exactly. Loved that. How often do we think of future generations in any of our endeavors.?Wind breaks not only provide protection from the elements, but combat erosion and provide habitat for birds.

So interesting Mary! What a great way to hear the news from a different perspective. 50 or 60 pages! It would take me until the next edition arrived to get it read. Thank you.

Yes, and the paper comes every week. The editor always apologizes when the mail is held up and The Budget arrives a day late.
