...and endings


We lost this huge birch in the ice storm last week.

We actually sorta 'stole' this tree from some field somewhere. We had just moved into our house (about 20 years ago) and really wanted a birch tree. So we plucked a little sapling and took it home. Over the years my green-thumbed wife has moved it around the yard a couple times.
It finally ended up in on of our favorite spots in the back yard. We had a bench there, placed so strategically that you could sit naked and not be seen by any or our neighbors.


Looks like our spring projects are starting to line themselves up.

Firewood?

don't forget....the birch tree is thought to have magical powers. In northern Europe, brooms are made out of the birch tree to sweep evil away. Before you have it removed...make a broom and leave it by the front door

Oh Man.
That is SAD.
Trees are the closest to God, they are so beautiful.
And Oceans.
And Skies.
And Flowers.
And Babies.(QUIET babies)
Oh well, nevermind.

I love it when people sit naked next to trees.

Sorry about your tree.

Strategic placement is definitely key. I hope you can do something cool with the old tree.

And totally not surprising. LOL
