The last leaf has fallen from our ancient Persimmon tree....leaving us an abundance of fruit this year.
it has fed generations of families here at this old Homeplace.
it's twisting, winding branches are laden with the bittersweet fruit,
now ready for me to make into a tangy jam ~You may be able to find some Persimmons at your local Farmer's Market, or perhaps in your higher-end Grocery Store...
here's an awesome website for recipes using Persimmons:

Today is cold & blustery again...perfect.
One of our Guinea Hen momma's hatched 3 little chicks yesterday...we brought them into the house & now they are residing in our family room next to the woodstove...
I'll try to take a picture of them,
as all 3 can fit into the palm of one of my hands!

some stitching
and a nice
piping hot corn muffin
spread with
Persimmon Jam!!
