Day 42 - March 31, 2020 - This is a comparison of our neighbors tulip tree (on the left) to ours on the right. Our neighbors tree was already dropping petals! In April of 2020 I posted my study on how long it would take for the Tulip (or magnolia) tree out front to bloom. [...]
(Photo Credit goes to Pixabay. com user KBOutdoors.) Have you ever heard the sound a Quaking (or trembling) Aspen makes when its leaves quiver in the wind?
