Cat

Kneedy wishing he could teleport through the glass window; luckily cats only have ninja powers and have not yet learned to teleport.

Eastern Red Cedar

One of several eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana) trees that we felled when building our house. We saved all the trees to be used in the house. We felled this tree almost a year ago, it has been laying  a brush pile since; yet no signs of insect or water damage - gotta love cedar!

This evergreen tree typically grows from 16 to 66 feet tall with a trunk typically 12 - 39 inches in diameter. It's commonly used for fence posts (for it's rot resistant properties), cedar closets, and cedar chests (for it's insect and moth repellent properties). 

Notice the white sapwood and reddish/purplish heartwood.
