I'm gonna walk back there tomorrow to see what I can see.

I'm amazed that there are so many kinds of oaks and hickories.  I 
noticed today that a large limb broke off one of my persimmons.  It was 
just too heavy with fruit.  Hunting season(gun season) starts this 
coming weekend, so I dragged the limb back to the edge of pasture into 
the kill zone. :)
Tomorrow, I'll be walking around picking up some ripe persimmons.  I 
want to make persimmon bread, which is just my banana bread recipe 
subbing persimmons for the bananas.
Also on the agenda, I need to take some plastic deer netting and fashion 
a few nets to dry those walnuts.
I still have to do that pie filling, too..
