This home started out as a four-room house on a treeless plain, but J. Sterling Morton built the home into a mansion and planted about a million trees in Nebraska to start the first Arbor Day. His 72-acre estate is now the Arbor Lodge State Historical Park. The estate is fascinating for its variety of trees, many of which are quite old now.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
So Nebraska had its own "Johnny Appleseed", huh? I always wondered where that idea and custom came from, but it makes sense that someone in a state that's "tree-challenged" (as is mine) would do this. That is truly a grand manor, with at least three colonnaded porticos that I can see from this angle. Using "Mappedometer" I can pull up the satellite view of the park and understand that this is the front of the home, on the west side of the park, looking east, and that it's an "L" shape with the opposite side being a large attached rectangle. Hard to tell where the original four-room house was. I do know that if this house were up here in North Dakota, instead of this elegant use, some enterprising individual would have turned it into a funeral home. Oy! Nice view of the place, Jeff.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Gorgeous shot of what appears to be a beautiful place and interesting too.
