Rowan trees I found in the Abajos the other day, also known as Mountain Ash. The tree was very important in Celtic Druid rituals. So if you ever need to keep a witch or an evil spirit away just find a Rowan.

Wild Quotes
"When I hear the stock market has fallen, I say, "Long live gravity! Long live stupidity, error and greed in the palaces of fantasy capitalism!" I think an economy should be based on thrift, on taking care of things, not on theft, usury, seduction, waste, and ruin. My purpose is a language that can make us whole, Though mortal, ignorant, and small. The world is whole beyond human knowing."
-Wendell Berry, agrarian philosopher
"Where can one find a healthier and purer delight than when on a brilliant winter day one binds one's ski to ones feet and takes one's way out into the forest?... Civilization is, as it were, washed clean from the mind and left far behind with the city atmosphere and city life; one's whole being is, so to say, wrapped in one's ski and surrounding nature"
Fridtjof Nansen, Norwewgian adventurer and Ski Hero, first to cross Greenland on skis.
"Of what avail are forty freedoms without a blank spot on the map?"
Aldo Leopold
"And they did preserve the land south as a wilderness, to get game.."
Book of Mormon, Ether 10:21
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The wind will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
-- John Muir

Does your son Rowan exhibit these same qualities?
I hiked up to maple "Lake" 2 days ago and saw these trees all over the place. I took lots of pictures in a vain attempt at "artsy fartsyism" had no idea what they were called. So you have proved once again that there's not much you don't know! Are the berrys edible? or should I be headed to the ER?
