🍊 american persimmon 🌿
Diospyros virginiana

#nativeplants #ecoregion71

three pale orange to reddish orange round fruits growing on a thin branch, crowned by the now-brown persistent calyces of the flowers from which they developed. the three persimmons could easily fit in one hand. the remains of several well-chomped green leaves share the twig. not pictured: the two i ate 😋.

the trunk of a persimmon tree diverging into two branches. before the split, the trunk is about a handspan across, each branch a little thinner. the orangish-tan bark is deeply angularly furrowed lengthwise, with small breaks running crosswise.

an american persimmon growing in a thin grove of mostly eastern redcedars at the edge of a savanna. the tree's trunk branches in two at around head height, and none of its limbs run straight for very long. there are many thin lateral branches with green leaves, often weighted down by clusters of round orange fruit.

Mitthoeffer crossing probably one of the worst on the pennsy. There is a beg button but people do not stop. And the trail on the east side of mitthoeffer is also a driveway for 4 or 5 houses.

October bike party is my favorite. My night always ends in a near feral state eating persimmons off the ground at like 3am. Pupils so dilated there is no color in the eye.

Moving new chickens into the coop and trying to keep them cool like hey it’s still me I’m still here and this is just the bigger box I always planned for you to live in you just haven’t seen it until today and everything is going to be OK we still have kibble and water here

Three chickens who only started existing on this earth on July 4th 2025 being a little scared about spending their first night in their coop home.

There was this additive in the concrete business that was sold as a fix-all. E5 liquid fly ash would eliminate curing and sealing costs and make it last longer. I was always skeptical and never learned much about it. Turns out it is snake oil and doesn’t work and it’s going away. AI will be the same

he probably dies right before the midterm. Nothing too flashy. A few days at Walter Reed and then his pants are full of diarrhea and his body is cold. they hose him down, spray clear coat to preserve the makeup as funeral prep, and lay him rotundly in the rotunda while we are all cheering

That was a crazy public meeting. The format was anyone could get up and talk about whatever they wanted. People were so mad. It was nimby treatler open mic night. every now and then Jim Brainard would talk about how there’s too much parking/not enough housing and we should get a TIF district
