COLD DARK ROOM

[Momof4]

I am wishing you the best of luck.. but also warning you.... it seems that when or if I even touch ANY kind of plant, it dies. I tend to heart beats & hubby does the foliage. (He’s gone right now or I would have got him to cut the pieces).. but it will make me feel really great if you can get one to root for you. I’ve boxed them up and will send out UPS later today.

Do they eat cheese?

No ! They won`t eat your cheese. A little bit hay from time to time, a lettuce and a handful gras will do.

Good morning all. On the road at Early O’Clock

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

An aardvark
A donkey

An angel
A gate

An orange
A pear

An avocado
A grape

Right?

Always thought that AN goes in front of vowels and A in front of consonants. No.


Ok.....off to cut some grass in our lawn on the side garden.

It's a vowel sound , so for example it's a union, but an umbrella; umbrella is a vowel sound but union starts with the 'y' sound as in you, so is not.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I’ve never heard hotel with a silent h???

If you use 'an' , "an hotel" should sound like "an 'otel', .
Try it.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Although “herb” is the only h-word I can think of right now where we do that...

An hour?
An honest man?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

They can't have Tidgy and wifey's lettuce.
The grass is all dead.
Hay will have to do.

Osage orange?

Yep...Mr @Tidgy's Dad was spot on a few posts back...with @Kristoff a close second.

I cheated

An honor. Yep, you’re right. Despite my pedantic training in the English language, even I use “an” with some h-words. [emoji85] Silly English language!

And we can’t blame Americans for that. But I think we can all blame the French.

Happy Friday all..

Almost jumped in the truck and went out kayaking again....but not since I have an all day trip scheduled for Saturday. Looks like everyone is busy singing, feeding squirrels, getting kids off to school, drinking heavily or wanting to, dreaming of fossils and stocking up.

Not sure how widely spread this “tree” grows.... but I’m sure many don’t see this type of fruit on their trees.. like the size of American softballs..

Any guesses? I’ll send the ID later... ogh....very humid here already...temps to climb to 93 ish.

Maclura pomifera, commonly known as the Osage orange. I grew up calling them horse apples. Same family as a mulberry tree

 

[Bambam1989]

Don't be silly.
It's the bit of baking that occurs after you've peeled half a dozen onions and wiped your eyes with fingers covered in chili powder.

I got a jalepeno seed in my eye once.. worse than child birth.

 

[Bambam1989]

Good morning, Mark!
Happy Friday.
That's an Osage Orange, I think.

Yay someone else thinks so to( about the tree)

 

[Bambam1989]

I have those on my pasture! We call them horse apples but I don’t know the scientific name for them.
Love all your pics. Be safe tomorrow!

Haha snappish

 

[Bambam1989]

Yep! Thats what it is. 2 points.

Hedge apple or Osage Orange
Maclura pomifera is a small deciduous tree with round, rough textured fruits. It's bumpy and spherical. Used by the Comanche as an herb using a root and water infusion for eye problems. Native Americans used it for cancer treatments. The sap has been used for tooth pain as well.

Yay I got it right, a little late, but I got it.[emoji1]

Hmm, not sure what I say..

You probably say erb. Most of us do. You know. . . erb tea? Clairol erbal essence shampoo? so it would stand to reason, we would say AN herb, or an erbal essence bottle of shampoo.

I LOVE WILLIE NELSON!!!!!!

As usual, I'm late to the party.
