We wake up to this stuff. What a shock. Mother Nature sure has a sense of humor alright. But I don't think the blooming foliage is gonna be laughing. My Dogwood and Weeping Willow seem to have weathered the freeze. Just can't tell about the Walnut and Hickory trees yet. Time will tell tho.
I took some time from my ultra busy schedule last Sunday to go on a walk about down to the saw mill, hunting for arrow heads. Found tons of chips and pieces. Then when I was on my way back to the 4 wheeler to head home, I saw this little item laying in a washout.
It's missing the top third of the point but I haven't been able to identify it yet. Still doing my research on the base. Also found this:
Unless you collect these things you wouldn't recognize this as another broken base. You can tell by the notch in the bottom right corner. This would be nearly impossible to identify as to type because the left side is missing. Also came across this rather large flake:
This is a flake or shard of chert that was broken off a larger piece in the process of making an arrow head or other point. It's about 1/2 inch wide and 2 inches long. Don't usually find flakes this long just laying around. Anyway - that's about it for now. Hopefully the weather will start warming again and return to a more normal spring.
