“Stands just as strong as it did the day you hammered in the last nail—how long ago now? Must be ten or twelve years. Seems more like a million sometimes. Anyway, it shows what a builder you are, this little tree house in the woods. I hope when this war’s all through you’ll think about that again. God gives a man a talent for a reason, and if I ever saw a man who could build things, you’re him. From up here in the trees, everything looks so peaceful. It’s just past suppertime and I can hear the ...river. Some birds in a tree next door keep looking at me suspicious-like, but I think they finally figured out I’m not gonna bother them. They’re singing a little. I worry sometimes about the birds over there, in the war. It must scare them when the bombs come.
