But you can't take Mendo World outta the girl.

I am the most worried about this fire out of any of them on the splattered fire maps. You don't know what I've been through for those trees. You don't know how many thousands I've planted. You don't know what I went through to get them planted, didn't see me, pre-surgery, with my head on the ground but my hands and arms still poking seedlings in holes and building up little bowls of earth under them so they could catch the most water and grow strong enough to make it.

I can see in my mind's eye the exact spot on 101 from which this image was shot.


always and any time....
