IT'S LEAP YEAR!

FOR THE TREES, NOT THE CALENDAR

 
32 months post fire and the pines, willows and cottonwoods are going strong in their 3rd spring. We have heard that, "the first year they sleep, the second year they creep, the third year they leap". With Rob standing at 6'1", it will be interesting to see what the growth is like by the fall....here he is with 7' pine and 20'+ cottonwood.


As for the house, not much has been accomplished since our move into it at the end of February.  On March 10th, Robert's mother passed away from health complications. That coupled with the need to settle in and breathe has had us enjoying our weekends more than working on the house.  However, we are ready to get cracking back at the never-ending list of small projects to accomplish.
