https://nationalhighways.co.uk/media/us1fgjh2/a5-towcester-preferred-option.pdf -- excellent news. I'll believe it when I see it, but it should really improve #Towcester and the A5.
If *only* #Persimmon Homes obeyed the terms of their planning permission and built the damned relief road, anyway.
"Are you enjoying your #persimmon?"
"It's a fruit that tastes like a particularly boring vegetable. What do you think?"
"I think that sounds like the man I married."
—
"It's quite nice actually."

A #hummingbird hawk-moth courts a #persimmon peony then takes off to #comb the bordering lawn for wildflowers.
Just a flick of a memory, but it brings back every detail of how she #felt, that day.

Sophie and Veronica were walking through a copse.
"Look at all these beautiful fruits!" Sophie gushed.
Veronica snorted. "Those are persimmons," she said.
"What are they good for?"
"Nothing."
"What? Really? They're so pretty!"
"Oh, you can make a pie out of them. But it's a pain to get the seeds out. And a lot of them aren't any good."
"That's so sad," Sophie said.
"Not really," Veronica said, squeezing her hand. "If you want a pie, let's just get some apples. Or cherries."
I want to plant a persimmon tree in my small backyard and would like variety recommendations.
I'm in central North Carolina, Zone 7b, Trewartha code Cfhl. Last winter it got down to 11 deg F (-12 C).
The tree would need to be self-fertile ; prefer non-astringent.

Good morning, world! Time for tea. And it is persimmon season too.

Persimmons are usually depicted with a lily's bulb and tangerine to symbolize good fortune and great profit.
The persimmon is colored a light red and has much the appearance of an apple. Owing to its bright and festive color the persimmon is an emblem of joy.

Pandiculation
An Eight block Walk
Dogs came too
A walking senryu composed on my morning walk. Persimmon, despite a clear sense of image, won’t haiku. Then the article on haiku structure, which frankly went over my head, but the middle line of pandiculation popped into my head fully formed & the rest quickly followed. It was a good opportunity to formally do shahai, see below. #Haibun

Delight above
Morning walk seen
Mess below
Persimmons bring this to mind
There’s a tree on my morning “pandiculation," more commonly called, morning walk. With ripe orange fruit it's lovely to look at. No one picks them, & I don’t like the taste, so I don’t. Result, they fall on the ground & people walk on them. The sidewalk becomes a nasty brown & orange mess
