So today I went out to check on my crop of persimmons, got a bumper crop this year and we've had two small frosts and the weather report says low of 28F Tuesday night so that will be enough cold on them to take the old pucker factor out. I've over my 5 acres have 56 persimmon tress all native and lots of the female ones which put the fruit out. Don't have to worry about the critters getting them all before I get what I want.

Here is how good they look this year:

The trees are loaded:

Some of the limbs are so loaded they are sagging almost to the ground:

Going to make some real goodies this year! I have 3 pecan trees that I'm picking up pecans everyday now for all the nuts I need for my recipes.

Ok I've got off subject and kept you in suspense long enough!  Found plenty of seeds off of the driveway and got out the old razor knife to split them down the middle:

And the for the final result?

Spoons! Lots of Spoons! Not one fork for mild weather, and one knife! Get your shovels out and snow blowers ready snows a coming!

The old folks did have something --they seem to know when Indian Summer is here and blackberry winter--I am never sure what it is--I have one weather station ---it is something like an Indian rock--it is my trash can lid--I look out and if it is wet ,it is raining ,an if it is snow,get the shovel and salt and if it is dry,it looks like a nice day--if the wind blows hard,it will shimmy and shake--wind direction and speed--it indicates it all--now,the persimmon is high tech--I think I will get out my snow boots now--thanks JR,Happy Thanksgiving and happy trails--fflintstone

It never fails Flintstone! Man the weather has already shifted. High yesterday was 74F this morning a blue northern is moving in, change of showers and the high today is 48F, low tonight of 24F high tomorrow 42F. Winter is here! Lake wind advisories out today, good day for soup!

I can see you are in the forefront of all the weather JR,you always get it before we do so all I got to do is watch you to decide what my weather is gonna be in about 12 to 20 hours--and it is here this morning,36 F at daybreak,and 48 for the high--afternoon it is suppose to drop fast into the 20s,hard freeze tonight--some snow is supposed to be here later tonight--but I think it is too cold already--well,keep the hatches battened down,get the warm cocoa and coffee ready--we gonna get an early blast,according to your persimmon forecast and here it comes--happy trails,fflintstone ( a snowmobile would be ideal now)

i love persimmons...the little hard ones they're very sweet and crunchy. one time i ate 35pcs of them in 3hrs..
i don't like persimmons with seeds...

[Luke]

i dont like this kind of persimmons , so bitter. yuck!

[JR]

Yes and they don't have a lot of sweet flavor, have tried them myself. I'll be picking persimmons today! Really cold down to 24F frost the last two nights have them ripe, soft and sweet! Going to store today to buy things for delicious recipes. Going to start with persimmon fudge.

Heh--I believe that is a tomato ,Luke--and those little crunchy persimmons,were they perhaps in a bag with Ludens printed on the bag?--lol--just joshing --enjoy the season,it gonna be a white and cold one according to JR's almanac and I already see some evidence--the water buckets are frozen over the last 3 days ,and cold rain is falling this morning--get the snowmobile out--and shovels and long johns--happy trails,fflintstone
