A Fun Day








This is the last American Elm tree standing at Longwood Gardens. It is checked for health periodically and so far has remained healthy. I understand that the disease was mostly spread through roots of trees that grafted with each other. There is also one bore that can spread the disease, but they are easy enough to fight. As a specimen tree, they can survive and stay healthy. Beautiful tree isn't it?

It was a great day, all day, very nice. Lunch was at lunch time at the cafeteria, grilled chicken, broccoli/carrots, red potatoes and a lovely lemon glaze.

I'll have to remember to add a pond room to my dream house. Beautiful.
