Billions of helicopters!!!

Old Dad -- Yep, those are Maple squirts, as we used to call them in Southern Illinois. Why were they called Maple squirts? Because you can squeeze them between your fingers and squirt the seed out the end. We used to use them as toy guns when I was growing up.

When we are at home in Auburn, Alabama we're inundated with pine needles. Will have to modify a snowplow into a track sweeper. We travel 3/4 time.

Hi guys,
Ian, stop it! You'll have us all emigrating. Our biggest problem here is cherry blossom, which has just stopped falling. The trees look superb when they are full of the blossom but when it starts falling...............and yes, my neighbour has one and we seem to get the lot!
Cheers,
Kim

Yeah larry it sounds really nice, this comes with spring which must also be nice; you know we don't really have spring here.

Living near the sea most major changes come from the sea and i'm hoping to see the dolphins come back to Mooloolaba, where we love to go to have a barby for breakfast most Sunday mornings.

Winter (or similar) is only a few weeks away and we also hope to get a view of migrating whales as they head up from Antarctica, to nearby Hervey Bay to calve. I hope to scrape together a few bucks and go up to see them from early August on.

Regards

Hey Larry,

As you know we haven't been home in about a month and a half. I imagine we're going to find fields of yellow where we once had a lawn. Dandilions are a real problem where we live. Oh well, that's the price you pay for the privilage of travel.

Any word from Marc about that article?

We are under attack by billions of "helicopter" seeds (Maple I think) they just keep coming down from all around us. What plague has mother nature blessed you with?

May all your weeds be wild flowers...OLD DAD
