    Dry winters and annual raking of Pine needles takes its toll on the trees.

    Every year when you rake Pine needles you expose damp earth that usually dries out within a few days. If the needles were left on the ground, it would be much more healthy for the trees but it would also increase our fire danger.

    I place soaker hoses under the drip lines of our trees during August, September and October every time we come to our cabin. I move the hoses around to different locations for each watering.

    It's good for the trees and we still stay within our minimum water usage fees.

    Not surprising given how little snow we got this year.  Hopefully (for the trees anyway) we'll have a cold, deep, long winter this year.

    I feel like our pines and cedars are browner than prior years and dropping more needles.  Should I run the hose and get my monies worth out of my minimum water usage fees?  Or is my memory just greener than late summer's fatigue?

    I'll add my endorsement of Canton Construction.  I had major work done, and his work was outstanding.  Reach him at (209) 795-4506.

    Just received a full measured cord of 16" almond from "Salvador" @ 209 368-3684.  Delivered price, $250.00 per cord.  He needs to haul two cords at a time  to make the trip to Dorrington worthwhile, so you may consider splitting the load or working it out with him.  He delivered as promised and showed up on time.  Great guy to deal with.  highly recommended.

    As of last year Lionidakis no longer delivers up here. The lady I talked to said that it was no longer cost effective for them to deliver up here. You may pick up almond wood at their place in Escalon.

    Anyone got a great source this year for seasoned oak firewood?  I was disappointed in my cord last year that had too much rotten wood in it.

    other hard woods also considered.  we need it delivered, no truck or hitch.

    There's always Lionudakis almond wood in the valley. They deliver up here but I don't know what they are charging these days. Here's their website with contact phone numbers:
