Mornin all.

And who forgot thier sisters birthday? Yes that would be me.
Another sister will be at the Irish reunion end of month. Or as the host put it , uprising.
Starting in a church.....Hmmm. We could use the sister who's birthday I missed minister husband to vouch for me maybe.
I do recall a Grandmothers funeral there I helped carry casket at. So maybe there's a chance I get in. Or rather , out.

I hope you didn’t try that trick I told you. It doesn’t work for sisters very well.

To those that know old movies, you'll know where this remake came from.

See Whadi. Pay attention to woman steering you wrong stuff here..

3 days later , what you said wasn't really what you meant W.D.?

While my dumb aaa, umm I mean brain says oh yeah W.D. set you on the right course now , you got this...

Sister has not acknowledged my calling and singing "happy belated birthday to you." and leaving a message after.

Meanwhile the other gals I encountered while thinking I had some newfound kind of rapport with them due to an insider tip ...

Did some picking today.

Regular raspberries are selling for $7.20 a 1/2 pint.
Ours is organic so there's 4 little one in one of these.
Fell some more, nature did part of an old oak.
Have a Hickory nut it seems. Nothing like finding an edible and finding out 10yrs later and 65ft up.🤣

i have faith in your tree work ability.
And I'm nervous about it too.....

That rotted one (oak?) was shot/in trouble for sure.
Congrats on the hickory.
I have one tree of any size upfront on the hunting property. By the road sand current property line (Close.) And near where a homestead used to be but no other sign.
Someone must have put there very long ago.
(All that hype , but it's still not very big around.)
i call it a bitternut hickory.
Deer will chew the nuts with thier thin husks at times.
I tried one. maybe two. Major bitterness! Maybe worse than fresh un soaked in a moving creek a week after shelled or un boiled and rinsed repeatedly red oak acorns.
(Pucker like alum!)

The instructions are to hit the nut with a hammer. Dig the meat out with a pick.
A pound of shelled takes an hour.
The old oak has seen better days. One of the first growth trees.
The red oak beside it was 5 3/4' through, and hollow as well. The tree guys figured it was 500-600 yrs old.

Thank you! Or was that for your sister? 😂

I know you won’t believe me, but I don’t do a birthday party for myself. Oh I had a couple when I was a kid and I had a very large one at 50 that I absolutely hated!
