I have an area through which the top of my property drains down to the property below me. In the summer it's dry, but in the winter it's pretty wet. My neighbor and I are "saving" our rocks for that section and are going to do a stream bed that's wet in winter and only moist in summer. Not sure where that fits in our list of priorities. Probably after we get cut up that 100 ft fir that pulled up root and fell across it. We've cleared the salmon berry that grew up around the fir, delimbed it and cut off the top 30 feet of the two arms of the fir. But we still have the bigger sections of trunk left. And then there's the cottonwood that got caught in between the two arms. That's just leaning, but will have to be cut up when it comes down. Lots of wood for a long time . . . and we'll have to do some more work before it gets soggy again.

Argh!!! And it's October already.

Here's the bottom. It pulled up the fence during the windstorm. I am thrilled that it didn't hit anything. Not everybody could say that.
