I have cut a dozen or more twigs from the now eliminated redtwig dogwood. I just happen to see in a magazine in a garden article where the sticks were all placed in a glass jar to force roots and leaves. I will have to bring mine up from the basement and put them in a glass jar.
The burning bushes have provided seeds all winter for the birds. They are greening up a little and will soon be leafed out again.
On the patio I found this chunk of wood. It must of gone flying when the chain saws were working. It is silver maple wood so it is very light weight compared to a hardwood tree. I don't quite understand the stairs step design carved on it but judging by the color on the piece it must have come from the lower part of the trunk. I suppose the chopper that took out the stumps created this.
I am home today. I do have lots of things to do. I will have to wait for it to be a lot warmer before I can go outside to work on the birdfeeder or the porch. I will just stay inside until then. Yesterdays winds made windchills that were really uncomfortable. I see that I still have a couple of small piles of snow that still are not completely melted. The one narrow strip of snow by the drive is about four feet long and 4 inches wide. It might go away today. A lot of sticks can be picked up outside but that too will wait until I can do it without freezing myself. I am really getting very tired of cold temperatures.
I hope all are safe and that you can have a good day. Thanks for stopping by my blog today.

Those marks look like they were left by a stump grinder. The have huge carbide teeth that really rip and tear and throw stuff around. You don't want to be too close to one of those things when they are going.
We keep losing a bit of snow in the mild spells, and then getting it back qhen it snows some more!
Bitter winds and cold here today. No fun after our warm day on Saturday! Good thing that chunk of wood didn't hit you or your windows or one of the digs. I am certain your cutting will root...good idea! Those tomatoes look good even on the package!
Thanks for your kind thoughts always, tomorrow is the port replacement day so we will be gone most of the day. I hope this one works for longer than the last one. :)
