4. The larch.

OK, it's not really the state tree of Ohio, but the topic reminded me of a Monty Python skit.

(Haha! Before I clicked on "post message", I noticed that I had typed "shit" instead of "skit". You can tell what sort of words come easily to the tips of my fingers.)

Even better. Here's a chocolate buckeye:


And the recipe for chocolate buckeyes:

softened butter, 2 lbs. confectioner's sugar.
Form into small balls. Then using toothpick, dip balls into
16 oz. Melted dipping chocolate until almost covered.

26. WV- Sugar Maple

my dad makes syrup from the sap of the maples on his farm- but it's really gross because he never boils it down thick enough or strains it carefully enough, so it's runny and full of bugs.

Aren't you glad you asked?

27. MD...White Oak

The most famous of all, the Wye Oak, was felled by lightning in 2002.
I wept unashamedly when I learned that it went down. :cry:
It was 460 years old. Here are a couple of pics:

31. Hawai'i proudly presents the kukui (candlenut)

A Polynesian introduced plant species. the kukui, better known as the candlenut. The nuts of this tree provided the ancient Hawaiians with light, oil, relishes, and medicine

You will often see people, especially at speeches, conferences, etc. with a lei made from polished dark brown nuts instead of flowers. This is the kukui lei.

32. Sable Palm...known as cabbage palm is Florida's State Tree!

Today I planted a palm roebeleni double....which I have two on each side of my spa...and I played in the dirt with colorful flowers in different pot arrangements. So I had fun on Earth Day Zomby but the bones are achy...can't wait til the spa is up and running,
it's quite a project but they tell me it's worth it! :hi:

[Zomby Woof]

Just how many DUers can your spa hold? ;-) :hi:

Happy Earth Day to you too! :hug:

plenty of room for DUers' to visit from AZ...:7
The pool is shaped like a foot print and at the heel is seating with the jets that can massage you too, it feels good.http://www.imperialpools.com/Whitewave.html



I plan to entertain once I get the place in shape so plan on a visit to the Spacecoast my friend! :-)
