Nature

I have neglected my blog!  Surprise, surprise.  I spent quite a bit of time trying to get pictures on here.  I hope I have figured it out.  Blogs are much better with pictures.  A beautiful rainbow or a mysterious fog.  There is never a dull nature moment at Lake Wateree. 

DH and I have been gathering pine needles from the side of the road for mulch.  Also dug three Eastern Red Cedars to plant in the yard.  We found a small tree that did not look like the others around it.  I sent it to

Dr. John Nelson at the AC Moore Herbarium at USC (the original one) and he identified it as a Red Cedar.  I was surprised because it looked different to me, but not surprised as they are so common around here.  We also planted two Red Buds and a Golden Delicious Apple.  We paid for those.  Oh, we also dug some Yucca from the side of the road and put in an area we hope to naturalize.  We hope we won't be sorry.  OK, time to see if I can post a picture.........
