Since then, volunteer elm seedlings from those big trees behind it have sprouted, taken root, and now completely surround the coop and much of the run. It's very shady now, and comfortable even on a day like today. Yes, it's the same coop in there, behind the trees.

Dang you Shaw... I just fixed my their/they’re typo but you quoted before I did... now the grammar police are gonna get me

Yeah I think all those Mimosas you see in fence lines were due to one someone else planted somewhere else, lol

Sorry
I love the Bradford and Cleveland pear trees too. . but they are apparently crossing with some type of wild pear trees that have thorns and are becoming invasive.
