Â* Well it wouldn't be a pecan tree , people are always cracking their
nuts ... actually I'd like to be a big ol' red oak , standing alone on
the top of the hill . We really like trees , have many thousands of them
on our land . You wouldn't believe how many people think we should allow
the loggers in , they think it should be clear cut . Hey , the trees are
a big part of why we wanted this place ! We heat with wood , and with
care we feel we can improve the overall health of the woods by culling
diseased , standing dead , and otherwise not-healthy trees .
