always working on something. Most of the roosters in this photo are now in my freezer. Coq au vin!

Long Leaf Pine

We planted over 600 long leaf pine trees this year on the back acreage.  Its has barely rained in months, and I don't have them irrigated. Many did die due to drought conditions, but its nice to see not all. I'll try this again. Thanks, Mark.

fall flowering

its a good time of the year to wander around in the woods. Its always a good time to wander around in the woods, but its seed collecting time. I like to mix native plants with my garden, for many reasons. the most obvious being they are pretty.
