Caveat: Tree #1193

A Daily Tree / My Photos

This tree stood by while Arthur and I re-installed the bottom rail section and the lower winch pulley for the boat rail, because there was a nice quite sufficiently minus tide this morning. This is a springtime milestone here at Rockpit Resort.

Caveat: Tree #1192

A Daily Tree / My Garden / My Photos

This tree (these three trees) is (are) dead – they are three exotic trees I tried to grow, but I was unwise and let them experience a hard frost last month.
picture
I have other exotic trees that are less dead, including a coast redwood, a dawn redwood, an oak, a flowering cherry, and two douglas fir.

This tree grew along a river.

You will note I neglected my “Friday Blogroll” today. I may end up doing every-other-Fridays or something – I don’t read that many new blogs each week such that I can keep adding to the list so consistently. I’ve been running out of new blogs to include that interest me.

Caveat: Tree #1189

A Daily Tree / My Garden / My Photos

This tree had a notch cut in it 10 days ago, but only today did I complete my project to end its life.
picture
I cut some of it into rounds for future burning.
picture
I also went and planted some leeks in my greenhouse garden. Last time I planted leeks they didn’t do that well, but I had some seeds so I decided to try. So far the only thing growing well this year is some carrots.

Caveat: Tree #1187

A Daily Tree / My Photos

This tree (the young alder at the right) saw some forget-me-nots (Alaska’s state flower) begin to bloom in front of my greenhouse.

Caveat: Tree #1184

A Daily Tree / My Photos

This tree is a guest tree from my past. I took this picture sometime in 2013.

I’ve been struggling emotionally: feeling incompetent at anything I take on. So today I took on very little, and did badly at what I did.

Caveat: Tree #1183

A Daily Tree / My Photos

This tree witnessed a dog drinking seawater (because it was there!).

Actually that picture is from a few days ago. Today, I ended up going to work – not a normal work day for me, but I’ve been suffering through trying to solve a major problem for a customer’s framing job that is largely a problem of my own creation.

Caveat: Tree #1180

A Daily Tree

This tree is a guest tree. I did not take this picture – rather, my mother took this picture. This tree lives in Australia, where she lives. It’s called a “totem tree” – which thematically fits into Southeast Alaska, in a sense.
picture

I’ve posted a few of her tree pictures before, e.g. trees #335, #343, #346.

Caveat: Tree #1179

A Daily Tree / Banalities & Journaling / My Photos

This tree (and this tree and this tree and this tree, too) was cut down in the prime of its youth by me to accommodate the fact that it was encroaching on the path of the power line down from the pole to lot 73.
picture
The electrician was out, doing initial work on installing electricity for the lot, using the utility pole I had put in 2 years ago.
picture

I also tried to remove a much larger tree but ran into technical problems with the damn chainsaw and, unable to resolve them, gave up. I’ll have to tackle it another day. I don’t get along well with chainsaws.

Caveat: Tree #1178

A Daily Tree / My Photos

This tree is a douglas fir I planted. Our neighbor Penny gave us an Easter house, so I tried to put the house in the tree, to make a treehouse. The tree was too small.

Caveat: Tree #1177

A Daily Tree / My Photos

This tree and its peers lining the steep hillsides failed to resist my efforts at anthropomorphization.

Caveat: Tree #1176

A Daily Tree / My Photos / Treehouse

This tree (which sticks up through the floor of my treehouse) was there when I installed a new worktable in my treehouse, which I made with some scrap lumber and a used pallet which I acquired from my place of employment.

Caveat: Tree #1175

A Daily Tree / Banalities & Journaling / My Photos

This tree was there as I pulled the tarp off the GDC (RV) and got it started and moved it 20 feet. It all worked, somewhat to my surprise – I hadn’t started it since January, and I was worried I’d let it sit too long. I also managed to “cure” its fuse problem – though I confess I don’t know quite how I did that. So electrical systems seem okay now (unlike in January).

I was talking to Arthur, as we drove home from the store today. Sometimes I blather on: “I really like this pothole. It’s my favorite. It has plenty of width and depth, so you can drive down into it and not just bounce across it, and it’s as wide as the whole road. It’s the kind of pothole you can talk to your friends about with pride.”

This was Arthur’s reply: “If you say so.”

This tree was reaching for a dog.

Meanwhile, lately I’m not feeling comfortable with the accuracy of my weather widget, on the right hand column of this here blog.
