Birthday Jaunt

For my birthday, I've decided to make the whole trek around Gibson Jack. So far my sole present is a Purple River Beech tree that I picked out and my mom got for me. It will be planted in the front yard so that (eventually) it can shade the house in the morning. Anyway, in lieu of a long, sleep-depriving post, here's a picture of Pouncer that came out rather well:



*UPDATE: I've now given myself blisters in addition to the tree. You'd think my hiking boots would ruddy well be broken in by now. *sighs*
