    Believe it or not Josh - I had this respect for our flag long before I joined the Navy cause of my Dad and Boy Scouts. The Navy solidified my respect and honor for it and all I do is carry on. Course - my Grandkids are learning it the same way.

    Snow showers today, no accumulation here though. Nice pictures Chuck and your respect of the flag is admirable to me. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of your views!

    You people are hearty stock up there in those latitudes .
    As I cherish the cool nights here in the 60’s and dread summer I see why spring coming is so important . My friend is smelling the maple cooking and geese retuning in Vermont.
    Spring is on its way . Your barn owls are your chime 🙏

    No!!!!!!! I'm so sick of winter. The barred owls were courting last night & this morning all around my woods so maybe they know something we don't.

    Hummers don't show up here in the Tidewater until early to mid April. This weather has my neighbor's bees all confused.

    Bummer Deb. This changing weather pattern sucks. I'm waiting to see what happens when the Humming Birds arrive and find these temps. They're due any time..

    We haven't had a fig crop in 3 years. A warm spell in Feb. followed by sub freezing nights on Mar, have frozen the tender shoots & buds. The fig buds will re-emerge later but never have s chance for the fruit to ripen before fall's first frost. How I miss them!

    Tam - all our trees are indigenous to the area but that doesn't help. I have Hickory and Black Walnut as well as Pecan. When these trees go into bloom a freeze will kill the fruit potential and if the leaves are starting it will kill the leaves which in turn will kill the tree. My wife's Lilac bushes have partially browned out which means that all the brown areas will have to be cut away. About 3-4 years ago we had a similar situation and my Hickory tree, below the house which is about 50' tall took a major hit. It hasn't produced nuts since and is slowly dying. We also completely lost a 40' Black Walnut because it lost all it's leaves. Not a good thing at all.

    Amen to that Deb.

    Yeah Deb was talking about losing trees on her post with that last big storm . What I am taking away from this and the last post is all the land I am on has survival trees . Now all these fancy little fruit and nut trees I am planning to plant may take a beating .
    Back when I was a kid in Cal it does freeze there . In fact it was in the 20’s last week . My Dad always planted his tropical plants next to the house for heat . And this is the best part . When a cold front was coming and he knew because of being a pilot . We would all go out and put Xmas lights up because back in the 50’s 60’ they gave off heat and then would put sheets over them . They made it!!!
    Oh the neighbors must of thought hmmm
