A Hunch

A Hunch

Yesterday, I got out the microscopes to check a hunch. What a cute little creature! It would be helpful for identification if I knew what part of the tree they were from. However I have not found any on the lower branches or leaves. I should raise some, but I think not this time. So…

Scat Cafe

It was fairly chilly this morning with a low of 28F. So not a hard freeze yet. But I did check my Frostweed just in case. But that was a no on “frosting” the Frostweed yet.
