We have a beautiful little woods just above our house, and we’ve been working up there for the past couple of days.  It is north-facing, so it’s more of a lush forest than a crackly dry one.  Our trees are mostly young aspens and young-to-middle-aged ponderosa pines.  Bright green moss and delicate lichen cover rocks, […]
