He who knows what sweets and virtues are in the ground, the waters, the plants, the heavens, and how to come at these enchantments, is the rich and royal man. Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1844
We, in this part of Florida, are “rich” people. The plants, the waters, and the heavens shine around us enchanting us with the pleasures of life. Are we doing all we can to be careful stewards of the environment?
