    Truckload of mostly hickory and good bit of chestnut oak. Hope this finds all well. What a crazy, awful year-may hope spring eternal. 63F7F59F-6E38-4374-AEE8-8FB496D83E88.jpeg 8C0282B8-E6D6-43F4-AD7C-05A5DAB899AA.jpeg 9863E22C-DC96-4DB5-9B47-3179C94C92EE.jpeg 3D18D816-71D1-480A-8374-209BCB931D72.jpeg

    Those are redbuds wildwest , the hills here abound with them, they are blooming now along with the crabapples that are the same color. Softwood I worry more about my woodshed...its double guardrail for the most part in the curve above my property 5FAA741C-67EE-4B93-8D1F-9075CEAD12C8.jpeg 6B385600-11BE-453F-B7E1-0D76743D0190.jpeg

    Yard therapy tomorrow: tilling up the garden, a little splitting and stacking by hand, maybe a backwoods to keep the mayflies at bey. (And a jar of mayflies in case I don't find any).

    Ashwatcher : like your land. Lotsa room to move.

    Hopefully last blast for you too-Not much winter at all here with no appreciable snow, one good cold snap but of course cold enough to burn 24/7. On average, I think I burned a lil more than usual but still only around 3.5 cord-And working from home led me to keep house warmer too during pandemic...Hope you and all are well my friend

    We call them Redbuds, also.
    Judas hung himself in a redbud tree after betraying Jesus.

    Thanks TurboDiesel for the clarification-I just knew thats what we call them here, although they are more pink and a lot of people mistake them for dogwoods, Good year for blooming it appears-must be all the rain we’ve had-Snowball bushes are loading up and the crabapple and pears were vivid but just about done. These recent freezes saw to that.
