The Sweetheart Trees palette knife painting by Peg Whitacre, a TN artist

Florida has many attractions, but not many people wind up in its many swamps!!  However, this is sometimes where you will find the "true" Florida adventure.  These two trees do exist in a small swamp in the center of the state.  A boardwalk makes it possible to walk with totally dry feet and see these unusual bits of Mother Nature joined together forever with this odd common limb.  My son always said I was the only mother among his friends who preferred spending her days off in a swamp to spending them at a mall.  He was and is absolutely right.  Enjoy!
