Awww Monday! May 4, 2020


A few weeks ago we took a long neighborhood
walk and I spotted an evergreen hedge that
had some little round multi-faceted green "nuts/cones" on the ends of some branches.
  I picked 3 and brought them home
to see what would happen if I put them out in the sun.
 The birds, the rabbits and the squirrels ignored them.
Then they began to turn brown and began to open.
I could see little seeds inside them.
One disappeared and I spotted this squirrel eating one.
You can see the last one on the brick in front of the owl.
I should have taken a close up photo but darn I did not.
Now I will have to try and remember where I 
found them on our 90 minute neighborhood wander.   
I want to know what the plant is called.
Tried googling "round multi-faceted nut" .
But got nowhere. Any ideas out there? 
The evergreen bush looked sort of like an Arborvitae.
But the "nuts/cones"on Arborvitae look different.    
Have a lovely day !

  7. We know nothing about that kind of thing, but we do know it is for sure a squirrel and it is of course munching on one!
