Nora's childhood house was made of adobe, but she and Ron built their two- story, five-room house for $6,000 out of logs and cement. It is a handsome, organically grown house with unpredictable flourishes: the door handle made out of a part from a lawn mower, the recesses in the stone walls for candles, the richly ornate wood carvings throughout.

A 100-year-old scarlet oak has some privileges when it suddenly wearies. Nonetheless, the trunk...

Then some wood ducks decided to raise their young ones in the crotch of a huge ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) down on the South Lawn, led them to frolic in the fountain, then sent them off to the wilds with a quack...
