My youngest son cuts down a tree each evening for the beaver who lives in a dam on the creek to discourage him from invading the aspen and alder they want to save......

I have recommended it to several book friends. And I ordered The Green Road into the Trees from Amazon. I imagine reading it will be like taking a walk with you except without the photographs.

My copy arrived last week and is perched on top of the tipple at the edge of my desk--also his biography of young James Herriot. <br />A clone of the cat pictured on the cover of 'The Dalai Lama's Cat' has resided with us for a number of years. I hope the storied cat was less addle-pated than ours!Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.com
