Rainy Days and Mondays
It rained buckets here all day yesterday. What to do when you can’t go outside? Take a long nap of course.
We have a few persimmon trees and they are all loaded with fruit. We are still waiting for them to ripen. If they aren’t ripe and you eat them, your mouth will feel like it is turning wrong side out. They are so very sour. I have never had anything made with persimmons. Last year a friend shared a recipe for persimmon pie cupcakes. Maybe this year is the year to give it a try.
This year we have a lot of hegeapples that have dropped in our yard. The hedgeapple is the fruit of the osage orange tree. As I was reading up on them I was shocked to discover that they are not poisonous. I was always told that they were. One of the common myths about hedgeapples is they will repel insects….more specifically spiders. If that were true I wouldn’t have spiders anywhere near my house.

Helping you reach a better state of body and mind
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sailaway from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain
