Good morning!! Good morning!!! Yes, it's a double good day today. No reason.. just trying to be more upbeat after this coffee and I know Sue's rum cake will catapult me into that happy happy world!!
Beats frowning, right?

This is a Chinese Pistachio tree that is growing in my BFF's yard in Lafayette, Louisiana. She sent me this pic via FB. 15 years ago, I had bought 2 trees and gave her one.
15 years ago, I had seen a mature 30 yr. old tree gracing a reknown nursery with brilliant red leaves in the fall.
It was truly a beautiful sight. That nursery told me that to order a 30 gallon one would fetch around $120.
Well, I found a couple of young saplings, around 5ft. at Lowe's. They were'nt priced and the manager let me have them for $15 each!!
