When we drove down to Roundrock on Sunday, we made a stop at the gas station to fill our tanks and to supplement the supply of fine food for our fantastic forest frolic. I also took the chance to buy the gas container you see above, filling it with gasoline. After we got to the forest and everyone was busy getting lunch started, I excused myself and drove over to Good Neighbor Brian's place to leave him this gift. I tied a bow on it and left it on a stump where he will be sure to see it. Good Neighbor Brian does countless things for us, many of which we'll probably never know about. He regularly mows our road and dam. He scares off interlopers. And he's always good for long, rambling, cheery conversations. He says it's not work but play for him. I didn't leave a note with the gift, but I doubt he'll have any trouble figuring out who left it. Missouri calendar:

• Look for woodpeckers at sut feeders; downy, hairy, pileated and red-bellied.
