E<\/strong>ver heard of barklice?<\/p>\n

We have a large tree in our backyard which has barklice. Sounds bad, huh? When we first noticed it, it looked like I would have to make another trip to Home Depot to ask the guys in the garden department what this was. I took these pictures of it.<\/p>\n

I remember earlier seeing algae growing on one side of the trunk, which then became covered with barklice, which has since moved elsewhere. So since it is not a deadly organism that will kill me dead if I touch it, I touched it and found it to be like fine fur.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mother Nature is an incredible Woman, yet what we know of her is minuscule. I often think of those who pass on before us and wonder how amazing it must be to see how all the Universe is connected.<\/p>\n

Next time I want to tell you about a recent chicken I sacrificed with a can of beer up its butt.<\/p>\n
