yewberries

As far as the eye can see.
They are the only edible part of the tree, though the pips are poisonous so don't eat them. And they are gooey like snot.

Me and my nut got up to all sorts of adventures. We went to a cafe and he sat nicely in his seat and had some juice, and we went to the library and he picked out a story about a penguin. He likes penguins, and this one bites a mean lion on the nose. We have read it several times today. He also go a number book with penguins on the front. He likes counting but still starts from five.

Six was his first number, then five, then four. I saw a pattern and waited in hopeful anticipation of his counting like everyone else. Not so. He knows seven and sometimes even eight or nine, but in complete denial over 1,2 and 3.hum.
