Odd. There are acres of them on the tree farms out where my place is in PA. Wonder why they are not cutting other than to drive the price up?

And, still raining...........but close to 60 degrees today :roll:
What if lollipops moaned every time we licked them?

Those aren’t ripe yet. 60 here also plus mud city. They claim the shortage is for 6-8 footers. Maybe it was to muddy for harvesting.

Ripe? Ready, maybe. There are fields full of them well over 6'...........

Now that makes very good sense - getting out in the fields has been a total mess all year be that tractor or horse driven -- mud, mud, and more mud!!!!

Right now, Friday, December 28, 2018 at 2:23 PM it is 78 degrees in Pembroke, Georgia. Last night it was 62.
We have had a little rain and the weather is expected to stay about like this for the next week at least.
This is what I like about the south. Oh, there is some other stuff too. :)

Same here. Creeks are about to spill over their banks.

December 31, another inch in the rain-gauge (at 1400)...the front lawn/swamp has reached saturation:

We're well north of seventy inches now, probably closing in on seventy-five. Just unbelievable. Hopeful that this (2018) has been an anomaly and not the norm going forward.

Rain held off long enough for this guy. Every neighborhood has one!

The sheetmetal-destroying brine solution has been applied:

We're ready for a couple inches.

I like the way the sidewalk meanders around stuff. :)

You have such a nice eye-for-detail(s), Roger. 8)
I hadn't noticed the sidewalk in particular at all. :oops:
