The Micro.blog challenge word for day 8 is “bind“. One of our trees got very leany during the wildfire storm a while ago, so it is staked upright again; I just added a second stake and velcro tape to bind it more, as one stake wasn’t cutting it. 📷🌳 #mbnov

Micro.blog is doing a photo challenge for August. The word for today is “up” (suggested by @LJPUK). Today I trimmed a bunch of branches; here I’m looking up at a sagging branch of the big tree by the chicken coops. 📷 #mbaug
Flowers of the day: dogwood tree. 🌱
