It’s Pumpkin Time!

The Spirit of Evergreen tree carving

I finally had a chance to check out the tree carving at the entrance to Hiwan Hills the other day.  It's truly an amazing carving when you get up close and personal.  I don't have a ton to say about it, except that you should definitely stop by and have a look.  Meanwhile, have a look at these ...

Earth Day at Evergreen Lake House

The annual Earthday celebration at The Lake House seemed to be a nice success, despite the cold and early snow.  It wasn't nearly as well attended in the past, but even so, it was nice to see so many people out today, learning more about Earth Day.  And it sure looked like a beautiful ...
