I found a nice surprise between the stacks of firewood I was chopping -- a small, very healthy Oregon White Oak (Quercus garryana). And it's in a perfect spot! I'll cut the weeds around it, mulch it, and put a cage around it so the deer will leave it alone.

We're about mid-way up this specie's North-South range (see map from Wikipedia, below) so it should do okay as the summers continue to heat up and get dryer.
