This was last year actually, so far this year both ‘Apple Blossoms’ are blooming, a deep red is definitely going to, and we will see about the rest. We tried marking them last year, but the markers are now illegible!
They spend the summer outside, (happy and green in the shade), a few months in the basement (dark and dry), and then spring into life in the winter with the judicious application of radiators and water. We even have babies from seed. Have no idea how that will work. They do pretty well, the red one in the photo above was a surprise last year. We had kept him for years, but he hadn’t bloomed in quite some time, and then last year he finally decided to once again. The ones you buy at the store are awfully confused for several years.

Honest, just busy.
Utterly bizarre weather, I think we will end up paying for it somehow….it shouldn’t be this mild.
The deer are hanging out up here (our various hunters have been too busy, for the first time in decades). Deer off/Liquid Fence only goes so far though it does work; but there is a limit to the amount one can put on, especially on broad leaf evergreens in weather prone to temperature swings. I think I may need to learn how to keep the herd down….in my copious free time.
The horse likes the mild weather though!

Otherwise known as your random photo of the day. Hard to believe that there is a busy two lane road out there!
Norway spruces for the most part, the tree in the front/left is a young redbud. What is funny is that until I was looking at this picture just now, I hadn’t seen the strong diagonal of those spruce trunks…I’ll have to give that some consideration. Lines make a garden!

This is an interesting contrast to the picture of the old stump of a few days ago. Only about fifty yards from the stump, this area has been heavily thinned in a way that the other hasn’t (I am waiting, patiently for decades if need be, for several massive giants to come down in that other area. Until they do, finished thinning is sort of useless, since young sugar maples can essentially sit in stasis while in a heavy closed canopy, and when those big ones do come down….things will be different.
I have to admit the other picture has a more dramatic feel to it.

It has mostly melted now, but I rather liked this image of one of the old sugar maples in the Spring Lot, now a snag.
