Another Sunday here
I almost want to give this guy points for pulling it off for so long. Movies, always extremely implausible, are made about this sort of thing. Shouldn’t they check to make sure people are not married first before they allow them to get married, especially if they have gone through the trouble of passing a law against bygamy? Wouldn’t this be information at least as valuable as the blood test? As a potential bride or groom, wouldn’t this information also be important to you? We do title searches on property before any legal documents are signed. Maybe we need to do that on people, too.
Just one picture from this morning at CrabAppleLane. It’s hot outside and I have a book to finish today. Maybe more later if I finish the book. I guess I have to push myself away from this damn computer first, though.
Those beautiful March 27 tung nut blossoms turn into these green tung nuts by August 14. They eventually turn red, then brown, and fall off of the tree and split open. Picking one of those brown ones up off of the ground will give your hands a nice brown tint and a pretty strong furniture polish aroma. For several days. We don’t pick them up any more here at CrabAppleLane. The trees are gorgeous. I’ve never counted but I must have close to a hundred of these around the yard (I live on a former tung nut farm/plantation) from saplings to 30-40 footers. They grow in sun. They grow in shade. They are zero maintenance. I love them.
5 days until Ya Boys Auction (Go Erasers), 14 days until CFFL Draft Day (Go Ragpickers), and 25 days until football season (Go Saints) begins...............

Okay Rob. Ya got me. The picture's beautiful, but the fruit threw me for a loop. If there was a 'tungnut plantation', what were they used for? Schmaybe the famous 'tung oil' I remember as a child and still see once in a while, in reference to furniture?
(P.S. ~ I mean it, I loves all the pictures)
Hey, ths
Yes, it is used for tung oil. Tung oil extraction is not the thriving business it once was. The fruit/nut, in addition to being unpleasant after it turns brown, is quite poisonous.
