The Falling Leaves are back at it again today.
Yesterday we worked so hard rounding up all the leaves in the front yard.
Sigh, this morning it looks like we did nothing at all yesterday.
First off, I went on Google to answer your question about the Strawberry Tree's fruit. Are they edible?
Surprise to me ... yes they are ... Apparently they have a gritty texture and are sweet/sour in flavor. The site says they have a heavy pectin substance. A lot of people used them to make preserves and marmalade. Who Knew !! The trees bell like flowers are dropping in mass quantities all over the sidewalk, and the bees are going crazy for those still on the tree.
And now ...
Here we go again.
We're trying to get as much done as we can because the weather "guys" say its 100% rain tomorrow and several days after that. We'll see if they are right.
I guess we have our work cut out for us.
Always be Grateful
Always be Kind.

As much as we love our trees, they sure can be a LOT of work! LOL. Those little flowers are so cute, and I think you need to taste that fruit and let us know what you think about it! Or better yet, make some jelly! I do hope you get some rain...and that you will send it all across the country to us here in FLorida. We are still SO dry!! Please don't overdo it with all the leaf blowing and mulching, etc. I know how that affects our "mature muscles". LOL. Blessings to you all.
We are having the same thing here. Bob usually takes care of them, but it's a daily thing and a few hours later, the lawn is covered again.
Very interesting about the strawberry tree!
We used to be in that position when we owned our home - and Rick worked on the leaves all the time! Are you going to eat one of the strawberries?
The pale pink flowers are gorgeous. I even love the shape.
