Comments: Winter has come early to the Black Hills this year, but maybe fall will come back for at least a little while. One nice thing about winter is that the long nights leave time for doing things that don't get done in summer; reading, writing, even wiring trees!

103. Garden art. My friend, Ron Beshara, carves these characters in old, resin preserved, pine knots. The wood will last for decades inside or out, and each is unique. See more on page 4.

Cats Alive! Ok, so I have rodent problems. It's no worse than foot odor or uncontrolled projectile vomiting, which people sometimes do have. Like many people, I have tried everything to solve my problem, alas, to no avail. BUT, recently I aquired two cats, Kenji (pictured) and Skitter, and they have made all the difference. It's true they can't really tell a bonsai pot from a kitty litter box, but they will eat anything on 4-legs that doesn't eat them first, and that's priceless. So far, I've seen a lot less random gnawing on my trees than usual, and that's worth more than a lot of cat food.
