MID May PAT ~ Due Date - July 18, 2026

[janae]

Working on the logging ATC now and will send soon! I asked my dad for advice on what to paint for "logging" since he's a retired (professional) lumberer and also used to be an (amateur) artist back in the day. He said "the forest on a sunny snowy day, with long shadows from the trees" which sounds beautiful but I don't think I can realise it so I'm doing something else. But a hot tip if any of you need inspiration on that!

Ps. Is "lumberjack" a normal word in English or is it tainted from Monty Python? I feel like when I Google it I get mostly "performative" images, bearded guys dressed up in flannels. What do you call a person who cuts down trees with a chainsaw, professionally?

All I could think of was the Monty Python song too...I just read yesterday that wood is the rarest material in the universe

I can see your dads idea in my head, it is beautiful!

we call the chainsaw welding folks "arborists" in our neck of the words

Ahh, interesting! An arborist in Swedish is more the kind of profession that prunes trees in gardens! Like, less chainsaw and more pruning shears...

i always thought the same thing, we do have traditional 'loggers" as well, we live in a place that was once a booming logging town, but a fire destroyed everything and the place never recovered

time seems to be flying, especially when you say things like Fall hits in about 100 days
