Yeah- makes my "Spiders" thread look tame!

Which thread is that Brian? Speaking of spiders, did you see the bloody great big one I woke up to on my pillow the other morning? :shock:

It's here, Lorna: http://forums.pearljam.com/viewtopic.ph ... it=spiders

Wow, these threads move down the line fast!

YIKES- on your pillow no less (shudder!!) I actually like spiders but we mostly have friendly, wimpy little guys around here. My only really bad spider experience was lying in bed one time on my back reading when suddenly, on the other side of my book I heard and felt a slight -thump!- moved the book aside and..

YEEEEAAYYEEEE!!! BORIS- GET OFF O' ME... NOW!!!!! :shock: ...

Boris! I love that!
Cool thread! I'm not usually scared of spiders but that one did scare the crap out of me. Like Cate said in your thread, we have some very deadly spiders here so you can't be too careful. :?

Yes, I've heard about your 8-legged Australian friends! :shock: I might have a slightly different view point of them if I lived there.

It's a nut that falls off of a Buckeye tree. The nuts are tough and if you plant them they can grow into Buckeye trees. When the tree is in adulthood it is a very tough tree and provides a good amount of shade. At my parents house we have one in the front yard and it has been hit by lighting twice and still keeps blooming and producing.

Oh and it's the state tree of Ohio.

Great tree! I grew one in a big clay planting pot when I was a kid.

My question: Here in California, the buckeye leaves turn brown sometime in August- way before any of our other deciduous trees. Does the same happen elsewhere?

The nuts on the trees here are probably similar- a little smaller than a gold ball with a smooth reddish finish. Very cool tree.

Sounds like a pretty cool tree, thanks for explaining that to me.

While getting some awesome responses for our current project, it made me realise that I didn't show everyone the card for Ava! :roll: I made her a little stickman 'princess' that she could change the clothes on, she had dresses and a Pearl Jam t-shirt. The messages were inside on sunflowers that folded up .Sorry folks, I found some pics of the front cover:
