A visitor to my yard yesterday is all gussied up in velvet.
Just as a reminder, the Staghorn Sumac gets its name from the velvety coating on young stalks, reminiscent of the stag.
Someone was running big equipment out back today, so I went to see if the railroad was being worked on. Nope. It's on the next property south- behind trees, so I don't know what they are doing.
But recently, new ballast has been added on the tracks. I think they are going to replace the regular rails with welded rail (as discussed in the link below), but not yet. Actually, thats why I went back to check out the noise- I'd love to see this process in action.
The only other interesting thing was that I noted the tiny boxelder tree back there is starting to look like a real tree. Not a high quality tree, but hey.
I worked well on all my projects again, and started the second weed-through of the rock garden. It's looking shaggy. A lot of things need trimming!
