Thank you to everyone who wrote to me about my branch. I've got your
messages filed safely away and flagged. A woodworker who is the husband of
a weaving friend is coming over this weekend to look at the trunk, so I'll
know more then. I'm delighted to do this. I can't tell you how much
pleasure my beautiful bobbins have given me over the past 17 years. I'm
certain I have some bobbins made from lilac wood but I don't remember which
ones they are or who made them.
Our lilac tree is quite famous here in town. There are more lilac trees in
town now, but most are new and very small. I've been told by an arborist
there are nine large old lilac trees in Anchorage. I think 50 years ago one
summer a nursery got in a small shipment of them, but the trees didn't sell
well and so they didn't get anymore. All the different arborists in town
know about ours. Oh yes, they always say, that lilac tree, when they come
to my house.
