My youngest daughter (9) and I were cracking some hickories, walnuts, and 
pecans, while sitting in the barn on Saturday, while everyone else was in 
town.  We were talking about nuts, and decided to take a ride to the north 
end of the farm to pick some hazelnuts, as she'd never had them before.  On 
the way back to the house, we rode the old dozer-cut road around the 
perimeter on the high side of the farm, and I noticed a big hand of pawpaw 
fruit hanging in one tree just off the road.  Shook 'em down and took 'em 
home to eat.  I figure those must be the last ones of the season here - I 
started harvesting some from the trees behind the office here, back in 
mid-September.
