Jody's daughter was doing a project on trees and spent some time in my woods finding different ashes, beech, and striped maple. She also wanted linden, but I only knew of one at the animal shelter in Orleans. But this linden is not native. It does, however, bring to mind all of the lime trees in the British novels that I love. 

There is also a storm coming in, which justifies this for Skywatch Friday.  😉
