Bumper crop of pecans?! That's nuts!

Black walnuts, which are green: nature's baseballs; osage oranges (also green): nature's softballs.

Attacked by fire ants today. They brought earth with them, and aired their grievances. Water refused to get involved.

In other news, Trump's going to Asia. I feel like I can walk again.

When the giant ants moved in, the survivors were so hungry they didn't even cook them before setting to.

the hungry ant


too fat to scurry
too unqueenly to mother a brood
but she could eat:
bread, steak, beets, sauce
dishes, tables, bread box, books
walls, floor, pillars and posts
-- there was no stopping her
planets, moon, pebbles, dust...
she came to the sun
opened wide
GULP!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh.

Bridge of Ants

Chuck was uncomfortable using the ant bridge
and it swayed alarmingly
but he was a littke guy
and said "pardon me"
with every step

The ants kept their collective intelligence a secret until a rogue punk hill broke ranks and went spiral.
