And some urban trees were out there and consequently it smelled like heaven

The Bradford pears are in full bloom and I would say the neighborhood smells like an Innsmouth orgy if that wouldn't make it sound too appealing. In compensation, I found a cherry tree on Adams Street and a wall of wandering moss on North. Have a picture of Hestia last night, yawning. I sent it to [personal profile] spatch entitled "KAIJU BREACH."

I saw this on network and just had to comment between giggles. You have indeed captured the glory? of the Bradford Pear.

Every time I remember that Janie has her sexual awakening under a Bradford Pear in Their Eyes Were Watching God, I cannot understand what prompted that decision. Lol

I know. It's just the weirdest choice. I mean everyone who's ever smelled one is sorry for that experience IMHO.

I recently saw "instructions" for pruning a Bradford pear -- one complete horizontal cut as low down on the trunk as possible.
