This is one of two Pine Martens that regularly visit Cairn Shiel for food in the evening. I think this is a female. Their diet seems to consist of anything sweet that you'd care to put out for them and they're very agile creatures, climbing the fence post to get at the food we put out for them.
Here is a link to the Wikipedia page about Pine Martens
This picture shows Mike in front of his grandparent’s old house. The house is located on his property but is in a sad state. It was made entirely of heart pine harvested from the property in the early 1900's, but no one is exactly sure when. The house is surrounded by long leaf pines, loblolly pines and an abundant overgrowth of underbrush due to burn bans in effect in the county. Mike intends to demolish it someday. I tried to convince him of its value as possible flooring for his new home he intends to construct. This house was one of two made of heart pine on the property, the other in a similar state. Mike is a practical guy. To deconstruct the house and re-plane the old wood is not as economically feasible due to the cost of labor involved as it would be to buy new. So, once again, money is the great motivator.
According to Joseph Jones M.D. in a speech written for the Convention of Cotton Growers December 13, 1860; the leading monetary export at that time was cotton. In order to get the amount of cotton sold during this time, the farmers and settlers would have already cut down a good portion of the forest. The following is an excerpt from the speech:
In 1763, the exports of Georgia consisted of 75,000 barrels of rice, 9,533 lbs., of indigo, 1,250 bushels of Indian corn, which together with deer and beaver skins, naval stores, provisions, timber &c., amounted to £27,021 sterling.
According to the last published official Report of the Secretary of the Treasury for 1859, the total value of the Exports of the United States, from the 1st July 1858 to the 30th June 1859, was $335,894,385, and of this amount a single article of Southern produce--Cotton--formed $161,434,923.
The three great articles of Southern produce, Cotton, Rice and Tobacco, together form $184,717,109--nearly two-third of the entire exports of the United States.
Of the $151,177,276 remaining, $57,502,305 were gold and silver bullion; if we subtract this from the remainder of the exports, after the subtraction of the Cotton, Rice and Tobacco, we have remaining $93,674,971. It is fair to assume that the other products of the South, sugar, lumber, pitch, tar, turpentine, hemp and other articles, constitute at the lowest calculation, one-fourth of these remaining ninety-three million dollars. This calculation, therefore, gives us only $72,756,225 as the value of the exports belonging exclusively to the North. The exports of the South then are more than two hundred million dollars, and are nearly three times as great as those of the entire North.

Look at that alien Pitch Pine right next to the Pine Bush that's being restored. It's pretty ugly. andyarthur.org/photos/pine/aliensinva.html

تعيش شجرة الصنوبر في المناطق الباردة، والمناطق الجبلية، وهي دائمة الخضرة،
وتعمر طويلاً. ويحتوي ساقها على زيوت عطرية،
أما بذورها فهي غذاء ودواء لكثير من الأمراض،
إذ تشير الكتب القديمة إلى أن الصنوبر يفيد
من يعاني من أمراض الكلى والكبد، والبواسير،
والجهاز العصبي.

Live pine tree in cold regions, and mountainous areas, a permanent evergreen,
The short-lived. It contains forward to aromatic oils,
The seeds are food and medicine for many diseases,
Recalling the old books to benefit the pines
To suffer from kidney disease, liver, hemorrhoids,
And nervous system.
pine trees in pots at the gaia foundation. while i was there we put the white rock on top of them to help reflect the sun light away from the soil and help them stay moist.
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through. A walk through Ridgewood, Brampton, Cumbria

This little guy was none to happy that we picked up all the pine cones in the yard so it went into the truck to gett them back. That is only about half the pine needles that went into the truck before we made the dump run. After the storm rolled through you could not tell we had picked up anything
