A day to appreciate trees. Especially our Spruce.
Yayyyy Spruce!!!!!
 |
| We love our Spruce! Here's one eeking out a living next to the glacier's edge near our home. |
 |
| Our schoolhouse and shop, built of spruce, framed between spruce. |

| This one must have lived very close to the glacier in its early years. Note how it grew so slowly its first 50 years. |
 |
| When we cut firewood, we like to count rings to date our spruce. |
 |
| One of our favorite pieces of spruce. It lived for 210 years, and was dead when it was cut, and that was 20 years ago. Small, but so old. I am sure that we often burn pieces that are equally remarkable, but just don't take the time to notice. Note: bench and fire of Spruce |
