Here some more. Pretty sure it’s maple. The woodgrain ripples at the top and the bottom, give it away. But what kind of maple??

A friend of mine on the plants and gardening thread thought it was a diseased maple.

Anyway, thought I’d share some of nature’s beauty with you all.

It's Maple. I've seen older trees turn color like that. Sugar maple can have pretty thin layers of sap wood, you're looking at the colored heart wood. The yellow areas are probably pretty soft (rotting), the brown areas are probably still solid. Probably near it's end of life.

I like colored and highly figured wood. Better than boring straight grain.

Yeah, that was not a very thoughtful swap of 2 oranges for 737729366 grapefruit.

If we've told you once, we've told you a million times not to exaggerate!

Acorn and butternut squash in the oven. Shallots cut and in the freezer for later use... I have to run to the store for oranges and strawberries...gonna make fruit dip for it later.... thinking pork chops and a baked potato for dinner

You can always take them to the local firing range and shoot them!

We just brought our first batch of pumpkins up to our range. May still be too dry to shoot tho….

It’s my other skill. My superhero ID is the embellisher!!

Finally finished the last steps in a project that's been planned for nearly 15 years. Gotta start cleaning the shop now. I hate shop cleanup. Critical, but not-fun part of any project...

Well it’s been cold and stormy but the rewards are views like this at sunrise and sunset…it’s worth the discomfort.

Juice and zest can always be frozen for later - juice fares better.

One of the most memorable desserts I ever had was 30+ years ago at a restaurant. Was a Grapefruit Tequila Sorbet with Cracked Black Pepper on top. Like a frozen grapefruit margarita.

This recipe works well for every type of citrus I've tried so far: Lemon, Lime, Clementine... think it would work for Grapefruit, too.

Found a recipe for Lemon Brownies a few years ago. Raves every time - and works for any flavor of citrus I've tried so far!!
