This is the spot that we've been clearing out this last week.  We wanted to cut down the brush so we could take walks through the forest without tripping over the vines and to keep the ticks down.

   -

 We've also been stacking the wood.  Our legs and back are sore, but  it's been alot of fun. 

  So far we have this one flowering tree.  Not sure what it is yet.  Things are turning green so fast.  Just in the last four days everything has started to bud.

      This is a closer look at one of the thorns off of the evil looking thorny tree that we took down.  We have one more on our property, but we might not mess with it.  They are hard to get to.

              Just another picture of a pretty bird.  We also have two big owls that live on the back side of the property.  Hopefully we'll get a picture of them someday.   

Your Clearing

Wonderful job!! We need to do that also so bad!! It's hard to get motivated when it is so much. I guess if we pick a spot and work on it little by little it will get done.

The flowering tree looks like a dogwood and the one with the thorns could be a locust tree. I could be wrong, but that is what came to mind when I saw them. If it is a locust tree it would make good fence post. I will show hubby and see what he says, if I don`t for get. sheryl
