This tree is a baby pine tree I transplanted from near the 7 mile bridge to my lot two years ago. It’s doing well. Pine trees are not actually part of the local micro-ecosystem – they tend to prefer the muskeg areas such as are found down the road a mile or so, closer to the river. So on my lot, it’s an exotic.
I worked today even though it wasn’t my normal work day, filling in for a coworker who was traveling. For some reason, it was exceptionally exhausting. Working retail when it’s busy is socially demanding.
