As often, Aaron spent his Saturday at Rosslyn, whittling down the bottomless punch list. His demeanor, perseverance, and smarts are a perennial hat trick, but his arboreal aptitude has proven again and again to be one of his superpowers. Yesterday and today his whittling was not metaphorical. High up — some 100’ to 120’ above the November earth — in a three stemmed ash tree, he managed to methodically navigate like an acrobat while literally cutting and carefully dropping section after section from ether to earth.

I doff my proverbial hardhat to the aerial arborist performing this deliberate, gravity defying art. Thank you, Aaron.
And laurels too for the photographer who documents all Rosslyn doings if/when my back is turned. Spectacular images! Thank you, Pam.

We will all rest easier when this round of tree work is complete. Until then, stay focused and stay safe!
