I don't know where to put these next pictures so I'm going to post them here because I think they're neat.
This shows the acorns in my yard and the driveway. It's hard to walk in our yard because they're so thick.

Friday when I went to my moms my dad and I went walking. They live in a very rural area but a new person has moved in. Guess he doesn't like the others on their road walking on his property so he put up this sign.
So across the dirt road the other neighbor put up this sign.

and these are the unusual shaped trees we saw in the woods.
I think it's so cool how trees will branch off.

Wow, there are some really awesome pictures in this thread! I really adore the Hellebore. I must try and find one of those. How big do they get? And the weird bent trees were wickedly fun to look at! Once again these are some great pics.

the helebore gets about 2 feet tall and 2 feet wide. The blooms last for months. It usually blooms in Feburary but we've had
spring weather lately.

What is on your camera Belinda? Have you taken any lately since you've been so sick. Maybe some of Ashley at Christmas?

That is good!
We put up the No Trespassing signs at our house. Not because we don't want people walking on our property. They can walk on there all they want. It is because during hunting season it is hard to see our house through the thick woods if you are on a certain side and we don't want anybody shooting into those woods because it would come right at our house. Make sense? James puts them up the week before hunting season and takes them down when it is done.

I've always heard that a lot of acorns meant a severe winter but it hasn't been for us. Maybe it means for Minnesota.

the pansies popped back from the snow and the camellias continue to bloom. that's about it. I think I'll have daffodils any day now. the snow didn't bother them either. And of course, the
weeds look great.
