I am just looking for a good reason to post this picture…..I find it utterly appealing for no great reason.  Why do people paint tree trunks? I don’t know, but I am tempted to do it myself.  It was taken at Birkenwald in Germany — and was found on the sanfte strukturen website.

Tt feels early to be in the garden in Boston, but the weather has just been so mild…it will be our second weekend in the garden doing early spring cleaning (we have excessive branch losses and pine cone production to tidy up as well as the remnants of the downed trees).  Speaking of which…I have some great pictures that I want to share of the logging activity, I just haven’t had a moment to clean them up and post them…maybe this weekend….have a good one.
