Cottonwoods line the Carson River here in Nevada. I have also learned to listen to the special sounds of the breeze at Fort Churchill State Park in the campground. Such a quiet place to be.

Our old farmhouse in West Texas was surrounded by cottonwood trees my grandfather transplanted from the creek half a mile away and watered by hand until their roots reached the relatively shallow watertable. I grew up listening to the sound of wind in the leaves. Good for you to have written this. Bill
