Then we come to an eight stem basswood tree. Basswood often grows in multi stem clumps. It is a soft wood tree and the bark grows in veritcle furrows.
Then we come to the leaning Chinquipin oak tree. I have measured this tree. It is where I leave the trail and go into the woods. Of course the winter woods are much easier to negotiate than these summer woods. But we make it through.
We go through some thick Asian Honeysuckle bush. This stuff is so thick that I have to get down on my hands and knees to get through. My dog of course does not understant this. She just goes right on under
We cross a trail and continue down a dear trail to we come to the trail I am looking for.
We get to my bench which I use as a place for devotions and paryer. It is a two stemed Bur oak.
Next to bench is the Shag bark hickory. this tree is not big but I enjoy watching it. It is like life where usually there is nothing. Life is sometimes dull. And if we don't pay attention there will be no advancement. With dullness we can be spectators in life. I try to break out of dullness by participating in life and not spectating. We learn not by listening in a seminar but by doing. If we do what we learn that is good. If we ignore what we learn it is a waste of time. the Bible is like this. I learn a lot from books sermons etc. yet I hadn't done much. These past few years I decided to go with doing over listening.
After this we head home.
