Rex the bull terrier has a passion for sticks and a talent for composing the most poetic descriptions of each branch he finds. His “sticks fo the day” will leave even the wiliest word nerd reaching for their dictionary.
Dogwood
Today’s #stickoftheday is an extraordinary piece of Dogwood. It has an antler-like appendage, which I found quite remarkable. Its main branch, mellifluous and dense contrasts in both color and texture to the panoply of its protuberance. pic.twitter.com/7CkeW48jmI

Rex’s family keeps each stick he brings home and turns into something nice, like his cabin pictured above.
White pine
Another encore #StickOfTheDay due to inclement weather. I chose this one because it illustrates how difficult it can be navigating some of these very long pieces through the neighborhood. It was a resplendent piece of white pine, inveigling in size and shape. pic.twitter.com/v3YLiIxSXG

When not in search of unique and beautiful pieces of tree to abscond with or burying his nose in his trusty Thesaurus, Rex can be found snuggling in front of the tv watching his favorite programs.
Copper beech
Today’s #stickoftheday is from the wonderful Copper Beech in the town common. I ❤️ this tree and am always grateful when it gifts me a branch. A vargeous piece, with a 45° obliquity which makes it even more prepossessing, a fortuitous find on a chilly morning pic.twitter.com/1xKnpdxxeO

Walnut
The sticks are still frozen under the snow, so I thought I would replay a classic #stickoftheday from last spring. I remember this piece of Walnut fondly. An eximious piece, a farrago of shoots and branches with a saporous, nutty flavor. pic.twitter.com/eVngxuuESe

Pitch pine
The weather finally cooperated and I was able to get out for today’s #StickOfTheDay a very straight and depilated piece of Pitch Pine. Mellow in flavor and silken on the tongue, it is a locupletative addition to the collection pic.twitter.com/Z7KGSi7DmF

Elm
It was just me and Dad today for #stickoftheday, so I dragged him through the woods for this piece of Elm. Archaic and muculent, it tastes of earth and perished leaves. Its shape reminds me of a yoke, as an ox would wear to pull a plow. pic.twitter.com/R2vLIUiiyQ

Sugar maple
My paws felt much better this morning and I was able to get today’s #stickoftheday, a fine piece of Sugar Maple. Refulgent with lichens and dried bark, spiky and complex, the quiddity of this piece was enchanting. Its sweet flavor was the icing on the cake. pic.twitter.com/fjnIyeBCKC

Sycamore
Today’s #stickoftheday is not of the usual grandiosity, but it is quite a toothsome piece of Sycamore. Heavy, short and spiky, it made me feel like a mighty rhinoceros as I carried it. Its shape, more than its size I found illecebrous and its panoply of flavors superb. pic.twitter.com/iTMM3pHhaN

White birch
Today’s #stickoftheday is a beautiful alabaster rarity, the White Birch. I was the cynosure of the neighborhood as I paraded down the sidewalk. Its effulgent appearance and papery texture are a stark contrast to its weighty pith. A real coup. pic.twitter.com/NlGzjPbsqm
