Monday ... Wait a minute, it's Tuesday already!

Whilst walking the yard this morning to check on the pecan and clean out my little car, I decided to take some pictures.

 I honestly thought we had finally killed them. The Honeysuckle are back.

 I swear to you, I have been working at trying to kill these, honest!

 They are everywhere around the porch, I hate to resort to poison ...

 Thanks, Bubba! So much for patching up our tree! Lousy crumb!

Any idea what ate theleaves and left this mess hanging on the tree? See pecans? Bet the crows get them first!

Wild Persimmons

 Wild Persimmons, these are on a small tree. There are 3 persimmon trees on our property and another on the other side of the fence. Nearly impossible to get at, they are in the 3-4' strip of property between the horses fence and the idiotic barb wire fence the regular grapes are on. There are also blackberry canes and some kind of spiked Devil's Club trees in the mix. I think we need to rent one of those 'DR trimmers' to even get close! There is no walking in there.

 Tacky and Jill were curious as to why I was out there so long.

A pretty day

 The morning was fairly cool and I decided to pick a few grapes. It seems uncle Jimmy had the same idea, he's always welcome to come share anything we have.

Not the best shot - Can you spot all the persimmons?

 The persimmon tree is loaded this year, I would try to make something from some of them, but I would probably botch that up too, so maybe someone else can do something with them.

Uncle Jimmy - picking grapes for jelly

He picked that bucketful in about five minutes. It took me a lot longer to fill mine. I did a lot of talking and gazing though. It's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. :-) The neighbor picked 2 - five gallon pails ... must be making a huge batch of wine. She told DH she still had many more to pick. (Glad it's her ...)

I hope you are having a fruitful weekend!
