[Leica] Happy stormy birthday Jim

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

Thanks, Larry.  We originally had a row of five dogwoods, now down to three. 
An ice storm broke the pink, many winters ago.  I've had guys pull a pickup 
into my driveway and set up a stepladder under the trees, to collect the 
berries for sale to a nursery.  I run them off, because we like to leave the 
berries on the trees for the birds to feed on.

I still see the wild ones in the woods from time to time, but they are not 
as plentiful as the once were.
