The Black Locust trees are blooming.  They are all over the neighborhood; just look up.  This one is just across from the resting rock up on Five Forks Drive.  That’s how I noticed it: resting.
 
The tree is in the Legume family, and the flowers look like sweet pea flowers, except they grow in clusters that hang from the tree.  They remind me of wisteria, only white.  And they smell sweet.
 
Another interesting thing about Black Locust is that they are often planted for fence posts.  The wood is strong, hard and durable in the soil.  
 
We found some dead wood one time when we were camping, and it was too hard to chop, so we had a progressive campfire.  You know, start burning one end, and just keep pushing the huge log into the hot spot.
 
 HAPPY GARDENING!!!
