Spring

First pale blue bonnets are appearing. May be a good year bc of rain.

Found a new flower in the field last year - came back this year, claytonia virginica
















wild muscari

one more dead tree gone - so far this makes 4 trees we have removed bc they are around house. A big water oak seems half alive so far this spring - hope it makes it. There are others that are dead and even starting to fall over on their own out in the woods. It's a sad thing - includes many cedars and native pecans.

A few weeks ago noticed that a number of trees on the hill had bad wind damage. A number of oaks had big limbs at the top knocked out, and about four cedars (about a foot+ diameter) were just broken in two about 6' up. Maybe a small tornado didn't touch ground or something. Sorry for the trees, but glad it didn't hit the house or barn.
