9/22/2008I identified another tree in our yard. The identification book I have is not the easiest thing to use, but I was happy to figure out another tree. This is a Cedar Elm tree. It is apparently one of the more common trees in East Texas. I was able to better identify it by the way the bark on the stems look.
Peyton likes to climb this tree when we go outside. It's our Wing Rib Sumac tree. One of 3 trees I can identify. This is one of the few trees that he can climb. Most don't have limbs low to the ground.
We disturbed this ant hill last week to watch all the ants run off with the eggs. We disturbed it again today and all the eggs are gone. Peyton was asking me where they went. I told him we disturbed them last week so they have found a new home for them...or they are in chambers deeper in the ground. Disturbing the ants is kind of fun...I just wish they didn't bite!
