Arabia Mountain does not have this protection, so I think people who love the wildflowers should point out the uniqueness of the monadnock. I don't want you to think that I hit the poor lady over the head or something! I only gently suggested that she notice the wildflowers. I think she saw my look of horror when she said that she ran up the mountain, I am not very good at masking my feelings!<br />(By the way, we noticed several of these areas on the mountain, they are just like sand pits, and we saw big footprints where the flowers were not growing...evidence of people walking or running where they should not be.)Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-24311515340669659882014-04-13T22:14:13.839-04:002014-04-13T22:14:13.839-04:00We have lots of owls in Georgia!

A lot of people go to a gym to get fit and pay hard cash to cycle on a static bike indoors. At least she was running outside and age will soon have her slowing down on Arabia mountain.

Thank you for a wonderful morning coffee read & look on this sunny Sunday morning!<br /><br />As you know, German and English have a lot in common in linguistic terms. The old English word "wort" is therefore, hardly suprising, nearly the same as the old German "wurz", with the same meaning of "root". Today, the German word for root is Wurzel.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-31081935217913399322014-04-13T01:08:52.538-04:002014-04-13T01:08:52.538-04:00It always amazes me what pops up after a little ra...It always amazes me what pops up after a little rain wherever there is a bit of dirt.
