Maybe you are showing the tree with new season leaves??
You are ahead of us here.
We must make do with Dutch early spring flowers:
Our native trees are just now beginning to leaf-out.
Some like the wild cherry in the back ground finishing up blooming:
No-rain, sunny sky’s for the next 4-5 days! Hurrah!

Got to 63F here yesterday and the crocuses flowered but no tulips or daffodils. No tree buds. Supposed to get some snow tonight but it surely smelled like spring yesterday. Would have been great If only I didn’t have to spend half the day doing the taxes.
A pair of the up in the forest Hills wild horses came down to visit again today:
I want them no closer than the far background forest road gate.
He keeps pushing to our fence corner for the new succulent spring grasses.
We neighbors joke that come-what-may one of those eight could feed us all for six months.
Just need the generator electricity twice a day for ~4 hours for the foods freezers. My loaner inverter-generator units.

I love the photo. This time of spring is my favorite time of the year. The sun is getting stronger and the trees are just starting to leaf out. Too bad it lasts for such a short time!
This popped up on my Youtube feed. I thought it would be interesting to see where JO and the boys go for tools, maybe.
Well, it kind of depends what you want of course but I’d say nine out of ten times I end up at www.biltema.se/en-se/
Sometimes at www.jula.se or www.clasohlson.se
Most tools at those spots are most likely made of chinesium.
Würth is often a bit too pricey for me but good stuff and personally I don’t fancy Swedol at all for some reason.
Other than that it’s a-ma-zon or such web based china import sites, hard to avoid that these days.
I can only tell here with tools I can hands-on buy; but I have found if it says “Taiwan” it will be a good useable, durable tool.
And Taiwan has dropped all from USA import tariffs. So I expect to see them expand out more to fill any incoming to the US slack in the categories that they do make.

The same as Johan, but never Clas Ohlson.
I get some at Swedol though, mostly because i get the discount from work there.
And yeah, Förch (normteknik) i get some from, they deliver at work, and i know the sales guy pretty good.
It’s hard find some things in Chile (back in 2010 there weren’t even any battery tools!). It’s so easy for me to buy through Aliexpress that I get most stuff from China. So when my Makita Philips bit got worn out, I bought a pack of ten from China. All ten lasted a fraction of the time that the single Makita bit did. It’s hit or miss with China despite the fact they build most everything nowadays.
Today we remember the day when our Lord Jesus showed us with His Resurrection that we are created for eternity! Thank You Jesus for giving me this opportunity!
Blessed Easter to all.
Here is a list of UsA manufacturers for socket sets. Many have been in business for decades.

I have a 50 year old SK ratchet wrench that still works better than any other wrench I’ve gotten over the years.
