I hate my persimmon tree.
It is old, too big, and taking over my yard.
I hate persimmons, squishy icky fruit that I don’t like the taste of and that attract ants.
I hate the strangers that knock on my front door and ask to have permission to go into my back yard and try to pick this fruit that requires a ladder to get to the lowest hanging ones.
I hate telling the strangers no but I can’t have strangers climbing ladders in my back yard; insurance don’t you know?
I HATE my persimmon tree, wish the prior owners never planted it.
I HATE strangers knocking on my front door! ~~dru~~

Damn it! Dru! About my favorite tea is Roland brand persimmon! https://www.amazon.com/Roland-K-S-Persimmon-Canister-Ounce/dp/B00G0JSTF8 Now I can understand your love! Of the mush mess you got in that blessing ( cough curse! Cough cough). Thus I offer more squiggly speak link https://youtu.be/RWiH7R2n-Q4. It has a nice quote you might enjoy-as a visitor you have to be able to look after yourself ( this is bush tuckerman, an Aussie nature survival show… or heh be careful or you’ll be tucker for the ants! Another line but not necessarily this episode unless it’s the one about floating abortion seeds or was that the boa tree one where he ate the ants? Dunno don’t have a transcript set to search terms! But this point. About care for thyself? Made for your pickers…) why don’t you take up insurance offerings? It’s really simple stuff 18 to legal contract sign 😉 sorry kids bring a pen pusher! Insurance riders sheets for liability disclaiming – then each admissions thus is insured this means a video on ladder safety;). Everyone likes videos!! Serve a shite tea and you’ve made 10 a person! Might take two seasons but such pays for robo gripper sawing down and stump ground. 150 -250 visitors @ 30 a insured visit Groupon rate!! For cheap jerks 22.50 or something lol that’s 25% off!! And all you do is chirpingly swill gin hoping for a few free to you youtubed headers and maybe a weird how’d they manage that outcome 😉 last pic. But remember your local insurance agent will help you with day rate information and make his/her 15 to your ten but heh. You whack that tree and maybe see… https://goo.gl/images/KTDgSL
Sorry to step on you toes S.Man but this is too much work for a few lousy persimmons. Insurance waivers in CA are not really binding and there are too many ants, so the world will have to live without my persimmons. Besides I don’t venture into the wilds of my backyard myself. I’m afraid of everything. ~~dru~~
Sir the policy money you could make pennies!!! Wasting hours!!! Heheheh. Do be sure to select a worthy soul for the firewood the stuff will be poetically perfumed. :). (And duh, I didn’t think my scheme was quite worth the hassle. But I bet you had a moment in there before omg hell to the no!)
(I’m one of THOSE people glad to have YOU suffer the upkeep… but before you bake me a chop down the cherry tree, Washington, I made some seriously in plate pursued pierogi… https://dreamtimestarmanjones.wordpress.com/2017/10/19/plate-me-pursuer-pierogi/ I’m not alllll Satan. (Limited on uploads here so Facebook has a different array)
I would show up with a picnic basket at lunch time. Grab my 6 foot tree clippers and go to clipping off about a half of bushel for jam hopefully I would not have to use my ladder. You and your hubby would enjoy some lunch laughing at me when the fruit hits me on the head. You would get a show and dinner for free. We had them in the Midwest but I didn’t know they grew in Cal.
