From the stump


From the stump and the fallen fir tree, there arose...a pergola. The lightly seasoned wood was cut, measured and cut again to fit together, and then assembled a mid March morning.

It's a beauty.

Sad day on Smith

Yes, a sad day. I think my count is fairly accurate. When my juniper went down in the spring of 2003, I never did get a count of the rings. I only know that Clarence and Lottie planted it when their son was 2 and he passed away at 52. That was before I bought the house 20 years before the tree was destroyed.
