After thinking that we were done with this cancer mess with Caleb, but found out yesterday that it is back in what is left of his left kidney, and now also in both of his lungs, his stomach, and lymph nodes. This is really really really not good. Poor little guy needs prayers more than ever now...

Caleb is out of the hospital and feeling better. He just had a little crud and now he's good

We are not quite out of the woods yet however... Yesterday he developed a fever so we took him to the hospital. He has some kind of viral infection but they are treating him and it is coming down, so hopefully he will be able to come home soon and be done!

I haven't bought any trees from him but I did buy an excellent pair of 11inch concave cutters from him and everything about that experience was positive

The trunk was very straight on the tree at the arboretum but with the hollowed trunk facing toward you and the curvy scraggly branches give it some movement and distract from the straightness of the trunk.

this tree reminds me a lot of a tree that i saw in a forest planting at the nc arboretum that looks very similar to this one. maybe you could do something along these lines
