DC:
Do the big umbrellas come in camo? I guess if wedding gowns do then an umbrella shouldn't be a reach ;D ;D
bjrogg:
I like how your thinking DC. Maybe I’ll have to check with some wedding planners. I know they aren’t busy right now.

Cool blind, BJ. Needs a work table with a bow vice, too, for days when the deer aren't moving.
Well, four of my apple trees are starting to leaf out, the new nanking cherry bushes are starting to bloom, all three of my hazel hut trees made it through and are acting like they want to blossom. The new maple, locust, and mountain ash trees are starting to break bud, too. It's always cause for celebration when a new tree makes it through a winter here at Badger Manor. This year, almost everything did. I think the long, cold winter actually helped them. A lot of times, we have a random warm streak in February that wakes up the less adapted trees, then it gets cold again and kills them off.
The cottonwoods, aspens, and bur oaks, on the other hand, are never fooled. The oaks still haven't even put out buds yet, and the cottonwoods usually don't leaf out until almost June. They've seen too much. :)

Spring is an elusive thing! Pretty sure we lost our plum tree - didn't help that the dogs konocked it over just before a hard freeze hit, likely lost a winter hardy low bush blueberry plant. Hopefully it does' get too cold tonight! Got blooms on strawberries and blueberries, peach and cherry tree are leafing out. Grass is ready for second mowing, even without watering, more fodder for the compost bin.

The heavy frost didn't materialize last night, just a light one. I turned on the sprinklers at 4 AM just in case, looks like am good to go, the weather is not supposed to turn cold again.
