Thanks for those thoughts Brett.
It’s hard to put into words about my relationship with the land and the trees but I guess they know me sometimes better than I know myself. They’ve been quietly watching me all these years loving the land and watching the ever so gradual changes... the births of some of the trees and the subsequent harvest of them for lumber... and now the new growth where they were that will soon become bedding areas for deer and nesting places for the grouse. It’s been a richly rewarding relationship we’ve had, and now my grandkids will know of my love and respect for my old friends.
Sorry to get sappy but it all runs pretty deep.
