Once upon a time, there was an epic battle, elephant -vs- cockroach:<\/div>\n

The elephant won.<\/div>\n

In the process of trail building, I dug up a bunch of greenbrier plants. It is a invasive\/nasty\/thorny vine, but it\u2019s roots are interesting. Large and oddly shaped, they inspired Helen to pick up a paintbrush:<\/div>\n

We then re-purposed them, putting them back into the forest:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Most of the existing forest creatures welcomed them with open arms:<\/div>\n

Except for this guy, who pleaded with us to dis-allow the newcomers:<\/div>\n
\n

<\/div>\n

And this guy, who questioned their intentions:<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n

We ignore their pleas and allowed the repatriation:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

We had some dinner guests this month. These are the current EEG fellows Helen works with:<\/div>\n

If you decide to come visit us, I will probably torture you with our talking house, as demoed in this video:<\/div>\n
