Glad you took us along! That's a neat old tree, and the milk can too.
The ground is white and frozen solid here. Probably couldn't scratch it with my avatar.
Look how the shovel handle in the fourth pic lines up with the sky in the fifth pic.

I'm just weird I guess.

wow that is weird! I didn't notice til you said something. that's a great coincidence! & can you send your avatar my way? I have a few "little" projects it would take care of.
Yup I brought the milk container home. The dirt under the porch on this place is still frozen solid, but in the sun, the ground is deep muck. I almost got stuck. would have put a damper on the day. kicked it into 4 x & granny gear & away I went. started looking at where I was going instead of everything else.
Fossis, I found lots of spiraled trees but forgot my loppers. & when I was taking pix of the tree, I thought of all the great pix you send in.I don't know the history of the cabin, have asked the owner, but he doesn't know. there is an abandoned wagon trail just up the creek from it.
