    The view from my front porch this rainy morning, 05/18/16. Have mowed twice. But we did have a light frost on the 16th. The hedge apple trees aren't quite out all the way yet. IMG_20160518_081926.jpg

    I only see one tree near me with almost no leaves. It is a large ash yard tree at a neighbor's house but I don't expect to see any more leaves on it this year. It just has a very few leaves on 2 or 3 low branches. The ash trees across the street have had leaves for at least 2 weeks now so I doubt it is the weather.

    I thought ash was always a "late bloomer".

    In addition to the shag hickory leaves that were turned black by frost this past weekend, I also noticed the locust in my woods now have black and shriveled leaves.

    Ash does tend to leaf out late but others in the area are fully in leaf now. I think the one on the corner is an EAB victim.

    Most did okay or so it appears right now. We'll know for sure on the apples within a week or two. Thanks Larry.

    The ski area is Bretton Woods in NH. It is across from MT. Washington @ 6288' the highest peak in the northeast, all the presidentials ( the nearby mts. in the same range) are all still snow covered.
