we call them popple here also .
Pretty weak tree, but it actually makes great indoor lumber.

From what I understand it isn't even worth blocking and splitting for firewood.

Nobody was on the thread because I took a nap that lasted till NOW.

WOW! You were sleeping AT NIGHT!

We've all had an outbreak of Montezuma's revenge. Not sure if it's something we ate, or a bug going around. Either way, we're having soup and crackers for supper.

OK, there is NO way I can click the like button on that! I sure hope everyone gets better FAST>

Huh? 1970 is now vintage, then DH reminds me that 1970 is almost 50 years ago, officially antique.

I believe that cars can be antiques at 50 but stuff like furniture has to be 100. 50 year old "household" things are "vintage". Must have been 30 years ago that I was in the grocery store and they were playing a Jethro Tull song for "mood music". Now that was weird 'cause we all know that mood music is old stuff!
Just looked up JT, they are still touring!!!

Unbelievable how much it was holding.

And how much it STINKS!

I wonder if honey locust is good for fence posts like our black locusts? Black locust makes the best fence posts, and split rail fences. Lasts IDK? Hundreds of years. Trees have thorns but I don't think as bad as honey, split easy. I've cut and split/sharpened thousands of them yrs ago. ...

I think so. I think I've read that - impressive wood!

Ours was brush, so the thorns were are eye, face, elbow, leg level. And they are serious thorns! They had to go.

We have both honey locust and black locust trees on our property. They are pains in the foot, literally. We have been trying to thin out the herd in our timber as both trees are prolific reproducers. They are also brutal to harvest due to the thorns on the Honey Locust. When we drop one dh usually takes his chainsaw to the thorns but then you have to watch every step you take as they are strong enough to go through leather boots, not the soles but the sides. We keep a pair of pliers in our pocket to use to pull them out of our shoes.

They both make good posts but Osage Orange makes better ones. Our barn is framed out with Osage Osage posts. Both also make fantastic firewood and we try to harvest one every year to use as keeper rounds for our fireplace when the weather is exceptionally cold.

Morning all. another hot sticky day here in north eastern Missouri. Now that the hay is harvested we can get the tractor back into the field and start harvesting wood again. I woke up stiff and sore this morning. Took a tumble yesterday. My leg doesn't work right,probably something to do with my back. I tend to snag my toes on things when I step over something and that is what happened. Luckily it wasn't a hard fall, just enough to make me go 'ouch' this morning when I got up. The good news was, I landed on my bad hip and it didn't break...thank you Prolia!

Anybody have plan for the 4TH? None here. We will cook out and probably shoot off our little cannon. Fireworks are legal here in MO where they uphold your human right to blow your fingers off if you want to. Usually we can stand in our pasture and watch the neighbors around us shoot off fireworks. Always fun.

Y'all have a great one!

There is a fireworks display near us, so I think we will take the kids.

Likely a church thing that day to go to. It is supposed to be 90F on Thursday which makes it a bit hot to be out picnicking.

We have little to no fireworks on the fourth.... too much sun... can't see them.

There is a parade where candy is tossed out... I think we will go to that.
