For some reason I just can't stop thinking, learning, & looking at the old oak trees on 'the farm'.
(Keep your ideas coming for the naming of the land contest.
I've liked what you've come up with so far.)
So last night we had the tree's age estimated.
The big one that the boys were hugging in my last post is approximately
140
years old.
We also measured two others.
One was around
120 years
and the other
80 years old.
Isn't that amazing? Obviously we didn't check out all the trees, but these were the ones that we (or maybe it was just me) were curious about.
We learned that the 140 year old tree should produce around 2000 + acorns this year. We also learned that it could live till it is between 400 - 900 years old. Cool.
On a completely different subject
This is just proof that I wasn't kidding when I saidI DON'T MAKES PIES!
I had some left over pie dough so I thought I'd hurry and make Layne another pie.
Well, after about 10 minutes of wondering why the timer on the oven kept going off, I started to smell a burning pie crust.......
I think I have baking ADD. I just get sidetracked too easily.
