Receiving Stolen Property



A vicious rumor has arisen that I might have acquired "Stolen Property "



To set the record straight; This poor orphan tree showed up in the back of a derelict pickup... What's a guy to do ? Just let it die unattended ? NOT ME !



I gave it a loving home where it will be cared for, nurtured, and well watered



This downy hawthorn (Crataegus mollis ) is the largest and most common of the hawthorns found in Iowa. It's Low spreading branches are similar to an apple tree.



They generally flower in May - June in our area. The fragrant blossoms are arranged in loose clumps. Right now you go outside and the air is sweet with the fragrance..



I don't know if the fruit is any good, however, the deer and birds enjoy them.

Airbag casts are a lot more comfortable yet still provide excellent support.

I spent the day cutting down a 45' tall tree that died over the winter. Hauled away the debris. Walked the dog, absorbed some UV rays, visited with a neighbor, enjoyed a veggy stir fry for supper.

You had a nice day. It was nice here too reaching 70F, very light E wind, mostly clear sky.

Your stolen little tree has found a good home at your place and will enjoy life among the neighboring adult trees.

Beware of the thorny Haw bush. It looks dangerous.
