The Ginkgo is Falling, the Gingko is Falling!

Okay, so things are looking up since last week! I am blaming it on the time change (give me a spring forward any day! extra hour of sleep, my foot!) and the multiple teeth that joined Noah's mouth in recent days. He always has gotten them in groups, and it looks like last week his mouth became much more full.

Here are the recent pics I promised from the ginkgo tree. Supposedly, this tree will lose all of its leaves in a single day. Meaning that they turn bright yellow and quickly rain down from the tree. Word that the ginkgo in front of Carnegie Hall is losing its leaves spreads quickly around Lewisburg. However, it didn't really go that way this year, so I cannot verify the accuracy of the legend of the gingko biloba. (How's that for a little Honors Biology, Mr. Culbertson?) It actually took several days after this particular morning to completely dismantle the huge tree. The downside: this tree drops berries at the same time it is dropping its leaves. And if you step on the berries, you are stuck with an aroma resembling old motor oil and manure. Nice.
