When we first saw this house it was a cold day in February. Every thing was brown except for the pine trees. They helped convince us to stretch our budget to buy the house. After about 20 years the pines began to slowly die so that after 30 years only a few were left standing. Two years ago we hired a crew to clear out all the dead and fallen trees. Now seedlings from that once were covered by all the brush piles are starting to appear. There is an appointed time for everything.
