Persimmon.Tree.
It.is.said.if.you.cut.open.the.seeds.you.can.predict.the.winter.weather.
Supposedly,if.the.shape.inside.the.seed.looks.like.a.knife,the.winter.will.be.icy.cold..
If.the.shape.resembles.a.spoon,there.will.be.plenty.of.snow.to.shovel.
If.it.looks.like.a.fork,the.winter.will.be.mild.
What.do.you.think?
I.see.a.long.thin.line.in.the.center.
Icy.cold?
Brrrr.

Persimmons! We had one a long time ago and it was so pretty this time of year. The fruits looked like ornaments dangling on the tree and the color was gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWe used to make persimmon cookies and they were sort of like a spicy ginger cookie and soft in texture. Yum.
I really enjoyed reading about your tree and your journals are great.
Thanks for sharing your OH.

An interesting study. I read Debbie's too. We don't have persimmons here. They look good though. To bad about your winter should the forecast be correct. You could move here ;-) .
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool, you have an awesome tree to study. Great pics.
