Kathleen, I'm glad you seem fine other than the bruising. I hope it has stopped hurting and gets better quickly.
I hope you're looking better after losing your fight with that mean dresser, Kathleen.Other than busted pride and bruising, I seem to be fine. The bruises on the face are awful though.
I am also sitting on the porch, on a 75-degree day - isn't it lovely CG?
I've been watching our sugar maple bloom over the, past couple of weeks. See that green clump in the center-left? Mistletoe [emoji8] [emoji16]

My porch is about five feet off the ground, so the view is a little misleading. The mistletoe is about 10-12 feet up, I'd guess. DH used to gather it for me to take to Martha Stewart Night with the master gardeners, when we would make holiday wreaths and swags to sell at the farmers market.So, it's almost tiny propellers time.

When I lived in California, we would see lots of mistletoe in trees. Easy to spot it in winter, while the trees are nekkid. But, it was always far up the tree and unreachable, unlike your clump. (unless I'm misjudging the height by a lot)
You're right - our temps are forecast to be in the 50s and 60s. Hello, Spring!It is lovely, GG, but I bet your weather guy isn't calling for a chance of snow flurries nex week. [emoji1]
I guess I was estimating 7-9 feet above the ground. Low enough that a tall person might be able to reach without a ladder or with just a crate or something to stand on. By comparison, the stuff I used to see was probably 20 or more feet above the ground and usually somewhere you couldn't climb to (skinny part of the branch or trunk).My porch is about five feet off the ground, so the view is a little misleading.

Most of it is like that. DH would take a long-handled pair of shears and stand in the bed of his pickup to gather them for us [emoji16]I guess I was estimating 7-9 feet above the ground.

If he keeps at it, he is going to have a face full of bird seed.I'm sitting on the front porch reading on a 70° day, but this cute little Downy Woodpecker keeps distracting me. The feeder is only six or seven feet away from the rocker.

Watching the blizzard.
From work? I thought I saw you post about weekend duty.
Be safe.
