Stumps

[isawlogs]

The white pine like to bleed pitch from the stump and the end of the log.

 Yes and when you get enough on your pants they will last forever ....

All this talk of stumps brings back a memory of a little tongue-twister poem my Grandma used to recite for us when we were little.

A skunk sat on a stump.
The skunk thunk the stump stunk,
and the stump thunk the skunk stunk.


Try that one real fast 3 times.

Great thoughts and writing, Arky--thanks for sharing.  To my wayh of thinking, you express the feelings of a true environmentalist:  one who loves nature and creation with a zeal and passion that understands that for nature to succeed, there must be a cycle of death and rebirth.  The legacy of those stumps built our nation--thanks for giving us something to ponder as we walk through the woods.

 Dan G that is some fine poetry for sure.  How something looks depends on where you are a standing to see it.  (or smell it)

I like my stumps cut low, I would rather leave a few trees rather than high stumps.

Good and deep thoughts, David.

David you need to put these in a journal and include any other writings and have them published.
