American Elm in the afternoon light.
American Elm is what the forester said it was, a magnificent specimen whatever it is. Easily the tallest tree on the place, right on the property line between this place and the one to the east. It is leafing out early, as are many of the other plants who normally start waking up later this month. The dark green spruce is finally beginning to put on some growth and still appears quite happy. Of the others I planted in that area, only one other one still survives and appears to be making a comeback, though it's only about 3 feet tall.
Couldn't get phone ready to take photo until he'd pulled beyond view. The Boone County tax assessor came by to see if I'd done anything to the house yet. Took photos. Car was a grey sedan with county license plate (6000?). Didn't get enough sunshine todya for the solar powered lights to light.
The ditch on the south side of the drive has several spots where water collects, just south of the row of pines.

Moving a mobile to a new home.
Ah the irony. A piece of paper inserted in cigarette pack telling you how to dispose of the butts, but not about how to dispose of the new item of MOOP, this paper.

Near here is where there is a culvert going under the drive and draining into the neighbour's place to the left. If there is any volume of rain, there will be puddles here.

First time it helped divert the flood off the house and top of drive, but one of the really heavy rains let a lot through, creating a rut. Seeing if I can improve the diversion.
