Yep, I missed a couple more days - life is just soooo full right now. Thought you might enjoy a story of persimmons. When I was a forestry student in a dendrology (tree ID) class standing out in the woods one class lab, the instructor asked us to name the tree he was leaning against. We all stared at the bark trying to decide but none of our guesses was correct. By the way, we had learned that foresters always learned to ID trees by the bark since it saved time when cruising timber not to have to look up. Finally, he said, "Look up." We did, and what we saw is what I photographed yesterday near my mailbox. A tree with no leaves, but lots of fruit. There is a moral here. Never judge a tree (or a person) by its skin when the fruit is so visible.
