This tree is near my treehouse – I’m standing at the base of my new stairway for this view.
I had a really hard day at work. I broke a piece of glass which in turn damaged a customer’s artwork (not irrecoverably, but enough that it’s un-hideable and embarrassing).

Caveat: Tree #824
Caveat: Tree #823
This tree faces a future of sticking up through the deck of my treehouse. I’ve decided to keep it and work around it, rather than lop it off.
The non-temporary treehouse deck is beginning to take shape – the lighter-colored plywood at right will be the permanent subfloor.

This tree was photographed a week ago. Today, the outdoor thermometer read 72° F.

This tree saw the hummingbird feeder deployed yesterday morning. Already, it has had some visitors.

Caveat: Tree #820
This tree experienced having a stairway attached to it. Now the treehouse needs a proper floor.

Caveat: Tree #819
This tree saw me resume work on my treehouse construction project. I’m building an actual stairway (left side) up to the treehouse, so that I no longer have to use a ladder. This will make subsequent construction activity much easier.

This tree spent the day wondering if it had somehow missed Spring and Summer.

Caveat: Tree #812
This tree malingered among the rocks as sleet fell silently.
With all the snow and sleet and rain and eternal cloudcover, my single lettuce sprout has given up and turned a pale yellow. It’s realized it tried too soon, and is surrendering to fate. The greenhouse remains chilly and barren.

This tree saw the chilly dawn.
I ended up running into town for work for the morning – since Jan is traveling and out of town, I was the only person that Adrienne could call for backup.
The sun came out today – not the whole day, but a good part of it. My greenhouse got warm. And lo, a lettuce sprouted (lower left, below).

This tree feels somehow more significant in a numerological sense. Anyway, it’s been featured before. It’s right downhill from my storage tent – it’s the tree that “caught” the tent when it tried to roll away in the big wind.

This tree is dying due to fire damage. I took this picture a few days ago when there was some fresh snow.

Caveat: Tree #795
This tree saw the sun make an appearance and illuminate my little greenhouse (maybe pick the small alder tree that I planted last year just to the left of the door). So I worked in the greenhouse preparing some planters for planting soon.

This tree (foreground) is preparing to leave (that is, send out its fresh spring leaves).
