Hi Beaker! As you can see I like to take fotos, sometimes they turn out well. Yes, I have been here a while, I love it. Here's a foto of an old wooden windmill derrick near my place. A cool thing happened --- we've had a drought yhere and I was out in the woods looking for a little redbud I remembered from last year. It hadn't bloomed. Finally found it --- a tiny sprig. It looked dead from the drought, not a leaf on it. So I carried gallons of water to it, and within an hour --- one hour! --- it had put out tiny sprigs of leaves and now four hours later, they are opening! You can see some little redbud blossoms in the windmill derrick.

That's a beautiful picture. What a wonderful way for the redbud to say thank you. I sure hope it can make it through the rest of the drought.
