Thanks for the Redbud, Bud!

Two-and-a-half weeks ago, Thunder left a comment on a post:

Sounds pretty good...sending redbud blossoms north!

Thunder is my go-to guy concerning all things redbud, and his redbud salad is something that I have added to my culinary repertoire. Last year, I decided to try stir-frying the seed pods. Well, the redbud is finally coming in, adding bright magenta swatches to the spring landscape:




It's also adding some deliciousness to my foraged menu. This year, I might branch out, heh heh, and try redbud in other ways, such as an addition to dessert. I'm glad that Thunder sent the blossoms north- thanks for the redbud, bud!

I take full credit...if not for MOI, there would be no Redbud in the Empire State. Now I propose that you get rid of that no good Guvnor of yours and put me in his place.

Thanks! Would it be presumptuous to ask for pawpaw trees? I think they'd grow up here now.

Now I propose that you get rid of that no good Guvnor of yours and put me in his place.

You've got my vote!
