Its Cottonwood Time!

The June weather is beautiful most of the time here in western Michigan. Unfortunately, June also brings the release of those pesky cottonwood tree seeds surrounded by a cottony substance. This, of course, lets the wind take the seeds here, there and everywhere.

I think I'll have a "talk" with God and ask why He couldn't make the seeds better, more productive, more likely to germinate and in much smaller quantity, rather than have each tree releasing millions, yes millions, of those little seed packages in the hope just a couple will result in new trees. Makes sense, don't you think?

Cottonwood seeds ready for the next breeze to give them flight.
