You have geese flying south, we have geese, in the same formations, arriving from the north to spend winter in this area...must do a post on that! Brrrr, it's freezing here today. Why the geese want to spend winter here beats me!
I love persimmons! I wait all year for them to show up in the store, just so I can pay a fortune for them and make persimmon cookies! When I lived in Calif. they were very easy to get, but not so here in Nevada! I made two batches of cookies last week...much to the delight of my hubby....=)
I've never eaten a persimmon before. Do you harvest them from your trees? Drat on those gum balls. I have bad memories from when I was kid and would run barefoot and hurt my poor feet on those evil spikey beasts. lol! gah!
You want to laugh? I read the title of the post, saw the first picture, and thought it was a really, really fat robin about to lay an awful big egg! Then I read that it was a persimmon. What the heck is wrong with me today? LOL!

The leaves are gone but the sweet gum balls hang on.

Close this window Jump to comment formI wish I could fly south with the geese. It's cold here and we had a trace of snow yesterday that is still here this morning.

I agree with Gramma Ann. Fly me south please for the winter.
And I agree with Rudee-your photographs are top notch.

Our geese have flown south already. They are at the Med now, I'm sure. Hobnobbing with the jet-set on the Riviera.
