A beautiful estate in the country, high, narrow building, and I'm adding another wing, perhaps 3 stories, I'm telling the kids that my stories sold, we're set, and there's a big truck there filled with insulation to be installed and I'm suddenly possessed to check my bank account, just want to make sure I'm not running low...
Through the trees to a creek, shallow, and follow that down to where it meets another creek, and the neighbors, they've told me, I need to plant plum trees, they will overhang the creek with long, deep red fronds and guide the Kokanee salmon up my own little creek to spawn, I'm planting the seeds, gelatinous, big, red, in the creek bed along the bank, in the middle of the main creek I see some trash, an antique gas pump, and hauling it out - it's in good condition - the neighbor looks at it and says that maybe that's why the Kokanee haven't been coming up here to spawn, and I'm looking at the rocks in the creek, the pebbles, making sure they're small enough...
