in the woods

... then since the property is basically covered with lodge pole pine I saw down enough to put up a buck-n-pole fence across the front of the place: standard five and a half foot bucks, eleven foot poles. Pines have a nice scent. I even like the smell of cut juniper and who could argue with the fragrance put out by cedar? (well, moths maybe), and even if your nose has never had the pleasure you would know sugar pine right off the bat. And on a wet day while in pursuit of winter steel head the odor put out by the combination of doug fir, hemlock, vine maple, etc. on a coast stream makes one quiet...I'll finish that fence tonight in my dreams.
