Auspicious Start: 3-winged key

-

At last! The gods that handle the Dark Arts that link domain names to blogs have smiled on me and at the umpteenth attempt, I have managed to point my domain name at this blog. So now we can get started!

I found this little anomally in my path as I took a walk around my local park. I was brooding over my inability to get the blog and domain name to link up and couldn't work out what I was doing wrong, so I took myself off for a head-clearing walk.

And to look for a sign!

Initially I walked past this, but I was almost out of the park and back on the pavement, but something about the way it was lying piqued my interest and when I doubled back to pick it up it was not TWO keys as I had thought, but a 3-winged key.

I've never seen one before.  Have you?

This particular key is from a sycamore - there are ways to tell the various 'helicopters' apart and hopefully I'll get around to writing about that.

Sycamore keys with more than two wings are unusual, but tend to happen when the tree is under stress - enduring a heatwave, for example. *looks around at everyone sweltering in a heatwave* 

Today though, it's just this initial post and my good luck charm.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a medlar in a fruit shop these days. To be honest, you'd be hard-pressed to find a fruit shop these days. But I am reliably informed that we have been eating this weird-looking fruit since the Romans introduced it to Europe 2,000 years ago (1) until it fell out of favour in the 1950s. Medlars - looking not at all bum-like The reason that the medlar was popular for 2,000 years is certainly not because of its user-friendly properties. You don't just pick it off the tree and eat unless you have teeth like a horse and guts that can withstand the onslaught. No, you pick the fruit in October and November when the little brown globes are about 2 inches in diameter and as hard as bricks and then you have to carefully store them (crate of hay or sawdust) for a month until they become VERY ripe, in the process known as 'bletting'. This was a term invented in the 19th century (derived from the French verb  blettir - to become over-ripe) to descri...

Moon Trees

Moon Tree at the Goddard Space Centre   Moon Trees - Sounds like something Enid Blyton might have conjured up for a children's book, right? But it's not the stuff of fairytales, there WERE seeds taken to the moon by astronauts on two of the NASA missions - the Apollo 14 mission of 1971 and the Artemis mission of 2022 (1). The seeds on the Apollo mission were carried by Stuart Roosa who had worked as a smokejumper (2) for the US Forest Service before entering the astronaut programme. A thousand seeds were sent to Roosa by his old boss, the Head of the Forest Service, who was curious to discover whether zero gravity had any effect on resulting seedlings and trees. Roosa took the seeds with him and kept them in the command module as it orbited the moon.
