Just a couple of images from our backyard. This really isn’t a photo blog, but we do like to share pictures. So maybe it is a photo blog….
The writing tool is in the mushroom picture for scale. We got the Black Cherry tree at a local DNR giveaway. It is in a tomato cage to protect it as it starts to grow. We also got a couple of Tulip trees as well.

Pretty good sized mushroom. We have a yellow Bing cherry that the blooms usually get frozen. We’ve only had cherries from it two or three years in the 20 years we’ve had it.

According to the research I did it’ll take 8 to 10 years before this black cherry will put on fruit. Hope we’re done with the virus by then…..

It’s a mixed blog with photos too. That’s what I call a Puff Ball. They get really big in Michigan, a guy I worked with for years will take one home, dice it up and cook it!

I don’t know enough about mushrooms to know which you can eat and which will kill you. I have seen huge puff balls before too. 🙂

It’s amazing how our backyards have become our world to explore as we watch the little sprouts planted two months ago grow to be so tall.

Tulip Trees are native to Upstate New York. They get so large we cannot see the flowers…only know they are there when the petals fall.

They are magnificent trees and are the State Tree of Indiana. Did not know they are native to NY.
