Caveat: Tree #1161

This tree saw additional precipitation added to the local environment, as part of a drought-mitigation project initiated by the rainforest maintenance authorities.

Meanwhile, the heating-oil-burning heater down in the boathouse (basement) seems to have developed a leak – there is heating oil on the floor down there. Which is concerning. Art and I spent time cleaning up some and trying to diagnose the leak. I think (hope) we found it. We’ll keep an eye on things.

Caveat: Tree #1156

This tree oversaw the restoration of the Rockpit sign, which had fallen down last fall. It’s got a proper signpost now.

Plus, the sun came out. That was awkward, after such a long period where it basically ignored us.

I went to Klawock this morning to help my former boss, Wayne, with some work at his other business.

Lately, as so often happens to me around the equinoxes, I’ve been feeling very low motivation and generally low mood. I’ll muddle through it, I expect.

Caveat: Tree #1153

This tree is from my past. I took this picture along my walking commute to work, in Ilsan (Goyang), South Korea, in April, 2013.

I did some digging around in my dirt-bins in the greenhouse, and refilled the cistern.

Caveat: Tree #1146

This tree is one of my metasequoia trees (Chinese dawn redwood). A deciduous redwood tree, it appears to have survived the winter and decided to give spring a shot – so I relocated it into my greenhouse.

Caveat: Tree #1143

This tree glowered back at the clouds.

I did work in my greenhouse today. I rearranged a lot of dirt, removed a lot of winter-killed plant matter, and planted small beds of lettuce, radishes and green onions. The sun came out briefly, and since it’s now making it over the ridge to the south, the greenhouse felt its warmth and warmed up just a little bit.

Caveat: Tree #1141

This tree is a palm tree – in seed form. It’s a cold-resistant and shade-resistant variety of palm from China, and they have survived in England and Vancouver Island, so it has a chance of surviving here. So I’m going to try to germinate it and plant it. Because Rockpit needs a palm tree.

Caveat: Tree #1136

This tree, number 1136, was right next to utility pole number 333. The utility poles, unlike the trees, wear their numbers publicly.

This tree witnessed a dog racing along a distant beach at low tide (can you see the dog-speck?).
