Denise and I took an afternoon hike on the Springvale Trails. Beautiful!! It felt like late March, like spring planting in two weeks, like sandhill crane migration time! It's only paved a little ways then off into the birch stands and cottonwoods and coniferous and winding creeks and low land ponds. I was told yesterday that Grant and Mike found big bear tracks on the back end of Grandpa's farm and this trail comes up behind it! He said it was traveling along the creek. So we looked for paw tracks. Only saw horse and dog tracks!! The trail is beautifully carved out in the grasses and woods. It took us an hour and a half to meander our way around.
This could be the left overs of DWARF MISTLETOE. A parasitic plant and a member of the same family as the mistletoe that is kissed under at Christmas time. It is a major scourge of Western pine and spruce forests and weakens infested trees. It's own brownish-green woody shoots project from the infected part of the tree and it often stimulates the tree itself to produce dense masses of shoots that take on the form of WITCHES BROOM. (information on this strange sighting from Ten Mile Lake Association, not my own knowledge but the power of google). :)
Stacking Stones. It symbolizes an Altar. A desire to manifest spiritual connections in our everyday life. To bring the sacred into every thought, feeling, and action. I don't think that's Lutheran.
