Yikes. Sorry to hear. Hopefully you make out OK.

We have a county drain, both surface and clay tile, that runs across our property. The surface area needs some regrading as you can see from the standing water. Ive already shot all the elevations to get it to drain across our property properly. Just haven't done it yet. Probably this year.

My wife sent me that this morning and as of it getting dark, most of the water is gone.

Here it was last spring.The second picture you can see where it boils up from the failed clay tile. It does this in about 10 different spots.

Might get in one more session prior to starting my pole shed.

Did start some splitting, then got tired. Have a ways to go to get caught up. Will do some more this weekend, maybe get one of the boys to help.

Last foray into the yard with anything bigger than a cart. And even that leaves a mark.

Hopefully I got enough down to the widow to last till it freezes or dries up. I can hear the ground soaking water up. No frost in the ground here.

Yep! January mud season. I wish it would freeze up.

Anyone ever see wood like this? Looks like it was diseased. Bright red color running through the wood at the base. Weird.

You made it bleed!! That would be a Boxelder tree.

Cool. Thanks. Are they good burning? Wood was real heavy.

Heavy because it has a lot of moisture weight. It's definitely a soft wood and will burn rapidly.

Rats. OK. Thanks for that identification. I wonder where all the red comes from?

 

[Ronaldo]

That I'm not sure of.

Does Box Elder have stringy bark?

 

[Ronaldo]

The wood itself can be quite stringy, never noticed the bark, though.

How about this wood?

Is this Box Elder too?
