Family Forest

They used to be called Tree Farms.
Now they are called "Family Forests".
We now have the official designation.
Mike wrote up a management plan and submitted it
to the state. We were approved.
We got this rockin' sign.

Mock Orange on the Half Shell



I found this blue shell on a walk, I carried it with me on my finger tip.
Then I smelled the mock orange in full bloom. I had to take a big bouquet home with me
and I knew the shell would get crushed in the process, so I made this little still life and left it on the rock.
