The Full Story
Inspired by my grandfather and his stories of long times past...

Grandpa was born during the 1890's. I’m in my 60's now and reflecting on my past, I can see my grandfather’s hand in my life. The stories about his days and his love for farming and orchards are in a strange way similar to the stories I tell my grandchildren.. Grandpa was laid to rest in 1974 but his stories especially about his trees had always stuck with me. He grew fruit & nut trees over the state line from here in Tillman’s Corner, Alabama: just west of Mobile. The Walmart parking lot there today was once a good piece of his orchard. Many believe apples won't grow here in the south. But I have heard it before; apples were grown everywhere, yes even in Tillman’s Corner, Alabama. However, today many varieties are thought to have been lost and faded away to time. I believe many of these trees are still around; just the historical connections have been lost. I am sure I may have some growing here now. This is puzzle to a story I intend to find all the pieces to, testing them for myself till the day I can experience what Grandpa described!

Please join me on my journey by supporting me in dotting our area in old time trees, where they once thrived!
Thank you for your support!
