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.

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.
Caveat: Tree #1155
This tree is up on the hillside.
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.

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

This tree is down the hillside.
I did some digging around in my dirt-bins in the greenhouse, and refilled the cistern.

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.

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.

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.

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

This tree is from my past. It also has a magpie in it. I took the picture in 2013, in Ilsan (Goyang City), Korea.
