So cool. I love gnarly trees like that. Seen many strange trees in my time...used to work in wildlife restoration and would spend entire weeks of time just walking through forests, collecting desirable plant/tree species' seeds...and pulling/spraying crappy invasive species.
you will be seeing the "spotted lantern fly" from china soon, they kill all sorts of plants and trees, we have them here in Pa.they came from China last year
Ugh, I already hate them...when they are in a cluster it looks so disgusting to me. Insects are cool, but not invasives. They are only cool when in their natural habitat. God, I hate China!!!!!
Ah, a smorgasbord of items. I will need a nice rug or five soon, as I am redoing my downstairs floors with hardwood - no carpet - but a bunch of rugs, and runners for the dog so his hips don't get messed up from the slippery floors. Also redoing my kitchen, downstairs bathroom, putting in a new bathroom upstairs, getting a new A/C unit, and having $7k worth of improper plumbing fixed/redone. I'm gonna be so broke for like a year now.
