Free Range by Bill Whitehead for February 12, 2024

Pretend they’re “Twigx” candies.

Dam it

He ups and leaves.

Hah, women!!!!!

It was a crime of passion.

Reminds me of what my mom told me when I was a child…, “Beavers are the best dam builders in the world.”

Dammed if you do, dammed if you don’t.

Could you put in a skylight?

Don’t you want a home on the beech?

Typically indecision a trait of most beavers.

Definitely Mr. and Mrs.

Why don’t you chew on it and call me in the morning.

Sounds like my wife after we got the backsplash glued to the wall: “Now I’m thinking that other tile would look better.”

Bill Whitehead must not spend much time around beavers. Beavers work in swampy areas. This looks like a dry lawn.

No need to start over, just spruce up what you’ve got.

…and his wife was never seen again…..

Too late…now deal with what we have….start gnawing

This aspen a big pain in the ash.

Poplar is more poplar in Europe.

Aspen is more a-peeling in North America.

Right now, you’re not very poplar.

Cyprus would be best.

So much for the wattle, now, for the daube I’d like a nice smooth mailable ditch muck with medium tallish greenery. The downstairs Rumpus Room will have a low ceiling, so we’ll actually need a little less material.

no problem. just wait around for the wind to shake off a bunch of branches…
