The fact is that trees left to maturity and beyond will eventually die. The big tree on the ridge that was blown over in a storm was completely hollwo inside--nice habitat, but it's value for lumber or heat was gone. It's value for beauty, however, was at its peak, and we miss it.<BR/><BR/>I suppose that's the ongoing conflict of living in the country. Life and death, beauty and disaster often reside side by side.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-2195482899427810972007-10-16T15:23:00.000-04:002007-10-16T15:23:00.000-04:00I remember in several fictional works the requirem...I remember in several fictional works the requirement that wood taken for fire be already dead. It makes sense to use those. My friends say that wood you cut yourself "warms you twice." I would guess that the fireplace will require just enough wood to keep Larry satisfied and warm, with a bit of extra time for enjoyment and rest. Good to see you both in Jonesborough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-78237203130133124072007-10-16T11:35:00.000-04:002007-10-16T11:35:00.000-04:00Nice pairing - the poem and the stories about Larr...Nice pairing - the poem and the stories about Larry's wood pile and weather's contribution to it.<BR/>EllouiseELLOUISESTORYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524893156201808778noreply@blogger.com
