This is the pic of the house that shows how the swing was hung so that it would swing straight.
No idea who went up there to lash the 2×8! The white dogwood had been planted by then. It’s still alive in 2020.

Good view of the tree house and single rope swing. The pine tree right by the tree house is the discarded Christmas tree.

Trivia: “The Oval” bed has now been defined with railroad ties, and note the beginnings of supports for the original black raspberries on the north fence line.
