Ooooh, do we get a glimpse of the Lake House here? Love it!
Love the arbor - but is it really BUCKTHORN branches forming it?
Buckthorn, I swear, is worse than that black walnut,

black walnuts -
treachery from above
and below

I have chopped out hundreds, HUNDREDS, of buckthorn trees (six feet high or less).

Love the poems - love the return to the house (home, hungry)!
