Example Sentences

Bark on these trees is being stripped off by woodpeckers hunting for EAB larvae - a process called “blonding,” according to the VDOF.

From Washington Times

“But the feeding of thousands of EAB larvae will kill the tree. So, the blonding process isn’t killing the ash trees per se, but the thousands of EAB larvae that are attracting the woodpeckers are.”

From Washington Times

I have been at the Chapel, and seen so many Beaus, such a number of Plumeys, I cou'd not tell which I should look on most; sometimes my Heart was charm'd with the gay Blonding, then with the melancholy Noire, anon the amiable Brunet; sometimes the bashful, then again the bold; the little now, anon the lovely tall: In fine, my Dear, I was embarass'd on all sides, I did nothing but deal my Heart tout autour.
