Walt:

I went out looking for your gloves the day after we cut down the trees and thought I did a good job searching. I didn’t find them.

Earlier this week Charlie brought both gloves up to our deck! Her nose is better than my eyes.

The poison I sprayed on the pine trees is:

Ortho Lindane Borer & Leaf Miner Spray. This was recommended by the Georgia Extension Service. It is a concentrated mix that I got at Pike Nurseries. I still have half a bottle left and plan to soak the base of all the pines around the affected area in late February. This is when the sap starts moving again and carries the poison up the tree. (I hope.)

It is powerful smelling stuff. I wore a mask, long sleeves, and gloves while spraying it. I did it in July. Hot work.

Thanks for your help the other day.

Jeb
