I don’t think you solved my riddle successfully. I’m no where near Kingsport in those pics.

You got some of that red gold O negative stuff?  My dad is O negative and they were always hot after his stuff.  I can't remember how many gallons he donated but it was a lot.

Yep O neg. And your right, when my time gets close there calling and emailing.

Just a dead tree or metal stake with a bunch of bandannas or pieces of fabric that people place up there. 
 

I don’t know that there is any significance for why people do it but there were several places at the top where people have done it

Kind of looks like the stand for Ukraine prayer posts popping up.

Woody woodpecker showed up today, then called for backup! Must be some good pickins as they weren’t too shy. 
My black cherry tree is on its last leg and scheduled to become firewood in a few weeks. 

Sorry for the poor quality, I had my phone on full zoom. Ran in to get the good camera and of course the battery was too low to shoot.

I cut down a cherry tree that was past it's last legs that they were pecking at.  They got mad and moved on to some deck rails that were on their last legs.

I left the dead cherry tree up for years for them to peck at.  I only cut it down* when it was in danger of falling on it's own.   

 

*a battery powered chainsaw was used to drop the tree and hack up it's carcass.

There is a ton of bumblebees in my pumpkin flowers right now for some reason. They are cool. The kids think im nuts for putting my hand in there and letting them crawl on me. For all I know they dont bite never been stung by one.

It's in the firewood pile now.  Didn't think about it, but I could turn my charcoal grill into a poor man's smoker.  I've thought about it a million times, but haven't bought a real smoker yet.
