Speaking of perseverance, earlier this week Norman and I were saddened by the removal of the orange grove on Lugonia near Dearborn. We were on our daily AM walk and were distraught by the sight of the bulldozers. Although I probably live in old orange grove territory, I still was mournful to see the demise of those beautiful orange trees. I wonder if the local government has a plan to preserve these areas. I imagine/hope that they do. Although you can't tell by these summertime pics, it gets pretty green out here in the land of Red, and I would hate to see the green just be something of the past.

I have grown up here my whole life, and I left for college and cam back last year and half the groves were gone!!! SAD DAY!
