I am posting these just to have something to do on this "Wet, Wet, Rainy Day, that I cannot go our and Play"
Planned to go collecting last weekend, Saturday would have been perfect day.... Thursday night my wife greeted me at the door and said the washer died. It was 30 years old, time of a new one (from what everyone has told me I will not get that kind of life out of the new one and I believe it, don't want to get started on that yuck) any way there went Saturday. My Dad was looking forward to going to the woods, so we went today, with Flash flood watch out for our area. Last year I saw some Birch that looked interesting with the peeling bark, it had warmed up so too late to get any. Looking forward to it this year, was not excited at what I found. Could not find any the size I wanted, all too big, no taper at the trunk and rushed for time as it was drizzle rain and expecting hard rain anytime. My Dad waiting in the truck as it was too thick where I went into the woods, once in there it was beautiful and open. No pictures, did not want to take my camera out in the rain. But I had made the 45 minute drive and figured I would get something. Both of them big and one is way too big but I put them in a pot and see what happens.

Got them potted just before the rain started, got some time out, my Dad enjoyed the trip.
