What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

I was going to chime in about it being basswood. It sure looks basswoody.

 

Thanks for the information. I’ll check it out when I get a chance.


So the book I’m using is this...

But if you look at the leaves AND the bark I’m still not certain which one it is! LOL Two or three trees leaves are very similar to my trees leaves. Especially the Linden. But the bark .....? And bark can change with time.


Birds are easier. And I use this for birds. Bought the two of them after I bought the land.

 

That’s the other line it could be. But I don’t think it is the one. It’s a beautiful tree. I’m hoping it does very well. The Black Cherry and it are kinda close together, but hopefully they both have enough room.

 

She’s doing well, WW. She’s able to eat anything she wants without any pain. Thanks for asking.

 

Sure thing, I'll show you the secret handshake once you've been pledged

 

Yesterday was fiddling with the pellet burner outside and getting the crazy looks from the Mrs. It was nice enough outside to move some branches and mow the edge of the woods. Our neighbors stopped over for a bit to chat. We went over property lines, chickens, dogs, etc. I gave the husband a tour of the barn and he was very impressed with it, and he saw so much potential in it.

Here is before. Not a huge area, but cleaned up it looks nice. There was a lot of poison ivy there.



After. The sugar maple branch will need to be cut up and put in the stacks. I have some shade grass seed that would do well here.



Strung up some lights in the barn.



Id'd the little wood frog after taking some pics.


Tree frog taking up residence in a bird box. That bird box is just a cemetery flower box modified up with a slant roof and the front panel comes off for cleaning every spring. Good size for chickadees. I put it up too late. It will go on a post in the spring with a snake guard around it.

 

Its amazing how fast the water temps are dropping in the pond now that it's getting colder at night. Last weekend it was nice and warm, and you could spend an hour or more in there. Not so much now.

 

Our pool's water temp hit 80° for one day, during the last heat wave. It's down to 74° now. The beginning of the end.

 

That frog is so cute!

 

Good morning firewood hoarders. There won’t be much going on for me today besides the enjoyment center. We had a great weekend with the family and I did manage to get a few small projects completed in the mornings and yesterday after the visitors hit the road. Cutting some grass and finishing up some trimming and thinning on the new pasture went well. Now I have to get the mess I made to the piles so I can use the York Rake with the tractor again. Then it should be time for grass seed. Hopefully get that spread by the end of the week. Have a good one today and be sure to have some kind of fun.

 

Absolutely. First time I'll be sad to see summer go in along time.

 

The SS 2Liter

 

Can it cap-size ?

 

Dad jokes.

 

I am on slow mode right now. Working on starting to get things done for short vacation. Sneaking in for my sons 40th birthday party. Had running around this morning. Take recycled in. Stop to pick up new mouse since mine died. Ran to grocery store. Contacted a few pet groomers and found one that can get Holly in tomorrow morning for a bath and nail trim. So tomorrow I start packing.
Feel bad for Chaz as last week he got dumped on to get work completed before we leave. He worked 10s all last week and Saturday he got about 5 in till holly misbehaved. Probably do 10s today and tomorrow. Not sure on Wednesday yet. He was hoping to get all off but might have to work half a day.

 

After the groomer I’d stop and get Holly a chicken flavored chew toy.

 

uh no.
