Old and New Touch

European soil and plants had nourished my daughters Jelena, and Nevena, and I. Twenty-eight years ago the three of us stepped on the soil of the North American continent. Georgia, a state in the Southeastern United States became our new homeland. I hope that the native plants of North America will be preserve to nourish the curiosity of Scarlett and Ada, my little granddaughters.
