2010-04-28 Spanish Moss

When I was about 5 years old, we lived in a house owned by the sugar mill my dad worked at. It was a sort of temporary housing they would give you when you moved to town. It was a tiny little house with two bedrooms and a bath. It had a tiny little kitchen, but it had a beautiful screened porch. In our backyard, we had loads of trees covered in Spanish Moss.


I used to love to climb them and pull down the moss and stare at it. I couldn't figure out who "put it there." I had no concept that it grew and was an air plant. I still love seeing it...it's a good childhood memory.
