While you kind folks were marveling with the morning chill, I spent the weekend sweltering in 100+ degrees in the north florida woods. Then the storm front passed thru and dropped the temp nearly 30 degrees. Delightful. Burned dogwood for the fire. It's fairly dense and burns slowly. |

Paddy, coming from the semi-wood deprived high prairies of Wyoming, I would find it VERY difficult to cut down a dogwood, let alone burn it! They are so beautiful! 'Course, I know how overgrown it can be in teh East, saw that when living in New England. Sigh.... springtime with magnolia blossoms, dogwood flowers, mock-orange scent drifting by my window. kat |
