Let's talk a little more about "pecky" cypress, shall we?
It seems that we are in need of some education about this beautiful and versatile wood. Please be advised, that no trees were recently cut down in order to provide me with this pecky for the Cypress Cottage. Some of these cypress trees, as old as 300 years, can sit on the bottom of a…

I need an email from you!!!
HeatherHere wants to know if it’s a contest.
I knew someone would wonder if this was a contest!! No, it’s not a precursor to a contest!
Its a Harpy nest.
What Greek myth are you from?
That there is an eagles nest atop of a cypress tree. Is there any current residents, perhaps knitting any tiny eagle booties? emmm…do eagle chicks wear booties? questions have to be asked…..lol
Deb
Yep, there the little woman was, sitting on her nest, knitting a tiny eagle bootie, while the daddy was out hunting!
Is that anything like socks on a rooster?
