After donating blood today, left work early a quart low along with two IV needle marks and bandages on both arms... Most would go home a rest, however not me.
Hit the forest for a relaxing afternoon trek which was good for the soul as the forest is my heaven on earth.
Wonderful shagbark hickory, they grow slow and this old growth beauty just toward above the forest with a presence.
Then a beautiful massive black walnut, my favorite!
Then... my harvest of the day! Unfortunately another beautiful walnut that I came across, apparent it was struck by lightning. Having a wood hoarding problem I wasn't about to walk away. I always carry a haversack with my frame saw for quick treks and this very reason. A quart low on blood and two bruised arms (girl had to learn the ole needle stick...) I went to town cutting alway. Lashed and dragged my harvest about 3/4 of a mile to the vehicle. A darn good way to end the afternoon! Plastered on the sofa now gents!
