This is a spot that's been photographed many times by members of my family over the years. Sometimes it's the view of the actual brook, sometimes this marshy mess. It's about 6 miles from my road and the area as well as the body of water are called Alder Brook. I had thought of calling my basketmaking business Alder Brook Baskets, but then I thought--what if we don't end up living at Silver Lake, how can I explain the name? So I picked something benign, Woods Run, which is totally non-geographical and is a logging term for whatever kind of wood that comes out of the woods, whatever mixture of trees you can cut.
