Happy birthday Lyn!!!!Thank you very much - I love the picture!!

Hope all is well with you.
crepe myrtle makes a really hard wood when it dries lots of people use it for walking sticks,and custom slingshots,i have been making and shooting slingshots for almost 40 yrs,along with making canes waling sticks and other things like carving or actually whittling,those are some nice trimmingsSunny & bright, but (still) below freezing. We’re having a stretch of abnormally cold freezing weather. Last year, hardly any really cold days. We managed to tame back & prune much of our Crepe Myrtles that were damaged from the snowstorm.
We first trimmed off the easy thin bits & then tackled the main trunks.

Thanks Chef but more likely to get an 81 year old these days - a sugar daddy would be nice though!!Happy birthday Lyn!!!!
I hope your outing is FABULOUS and you get hit on by an 18 year old.!! ?
Yes, I love the vibrant rich color's, I do NOT particularly care for the White Crepe Myrtle, but I suppose in the right landscape, it could fit right in. . .Also they are very pretty...View attachment 339012View attachment 339013
Wow I'm starting to get so excited about my new baby tree. Even the woodworking side of it. Even if I only use the prunings for a neat looking basket. Hopefully, I'll be able to by the time it starts getting big.Also they are very pretty...View attachment 339012View attachment 339013
How's the other new baby? Have you gotten news yet??Good morning/afternoon all.
Another lovely, frosty sunny day here!
Lola hasn't made an appearance yet but is just peeping around his door.
I'm having a quiet day but may pop out to see Tilly the pup later.
I hope everyone is having a good Friday
Since you've been busy I've been googling with all my questions and ran across a guy named Howard Lewin with a really good article online. Explaining all the benefits of turning green wood ? in the first place it's free ? and a bunch of other stuff too. Is all of those more of the Crapemyrtle? I like the creamy white of that wood. I hope my baby tree grows fast.A quick peek at a few more of the yet-to-be “trimmed” Christmas trees hot off my lathe.

Yes thanks for asking Cathie.How's the other new baby? Have you gotten news yet??
Lovely! Maybe they'll do a Portal for you too I hope. I've been rooting for the couple along with you just because you included me in it. But it's just one of those love at first sight stories that has to be true or else. I'm happy for them.? and Tilly too. I'm happy for Tilly to find a good loving home but they always give us more in the long run. Lots of joy ❤️ right.Yes thanks for asking Cathie.
My new great niece arrived about 8.30 a.m. Las Vegas time - approx 4.30 pm here.
She weighed in at just over 7 pounds; I'm not sure of baby's name, it sounded a bit like Cranberry but it wouldn't be that (I hope!!) and my sister had to go rescue the pup before I could ask her to repeat it.
My nephew introduced her to her Welsh grandparents via Portal so they've been able to see her thanks to technology.
Mother and baby are doing well and no complications so there's a great deal to be thankful for.
The other 'baby' Tilly is wonderful and very playful until she wears herself out and needs a sleep.
Thank you Cathie My sister is sending me some pics so I'll post one then.Lovely! Maybe they'll do a Portal for you too I hope.
