Ginkgo nut trees!! There's a row of them in the local park, right behind the cherry-blossom trees where Maron found a snake the other day. Sometimes we'll see one of the old people from the neighboring public housing complex collect the nuts to prepare. The tree I've been chopping for firewood must have been like the big park trees three years ago. I guess the guy wanted more sun on his little garden plots or something. Or maybe someone was complaining about the fallen leaves. How did it come about about that people think they can complain about fallen leaves and then that they should be taken seriously and motivate the removal of trees. How?

But seeing a little Ginkgo seedling can make one feel hopeful. Eventually I should get access to some land to reclaim, someplace where I can plant all hopeful seedling..Would be awesome to take over and abandoned quarry, build Earthsips there and surround them with forest.

"In Dreams Begins Responsibility" --- Yeats

but there are so many dreams... "The habit of living in fancies is normal and right in early childhood, because young children have an impotence which ,is not pathological. But as adult life approaches, there must be a more and more vivid realization that dreams are only valuable in so far as they can be translated, sooner or later, into fact." -- Bertrand Russel ^1

A few years ago some Ginkgo trees along the road were coppicced. They looked really sad at first. But a few weeks ago I noticed them again and the look really good, lots of height and leaves. These trees are fascinating, even if eating too many of their seeds (nuts?) is supposed to be bad for you: taste awesome in sushi restaurant ChaWanMushi though..

In #TheTree #ColinTudge mentions that these trees nearly went extinct 5,000 years ago. Temples in China preserved them?

The weekend worked out nice! Two sunny days just after rainy season got started last week. I ended up getting caught up on the Ginkgo tree we been sawing and hauling during days off for the last couple weeks. The tree was downed 3(?) years ago but the trunk was covered with a lot of smaller branches and things. Luckily some people in the tree's neighborhood still have wood-heated Goemon baths: so the smaller branches ave all been taken away to heat bath water. You'd think the wood might be water-logged, rotted and not of much use. But I guess Ginkgo wood does not rot easily. Maybe that's why I've seen kitchen cutting boards made of Ginkgo Wood? There is a lot of moisture. Liquid comes out around the ax-head at first but I think it starts drying quickly once split. Ginkgo wood is not easy to split, but it's not an almost ridiculous amount of effort unless your working on the branching sections. It probably makes more sense to avoid some sections, but, for now I can look at it as exercise and think of it as an approach to local energy independence. All the places for keeping wood dry around the house are just about full now. But once you have a stove you tend to meet and talk with people that need wood. Helping each other out (I got axes, they got trucks..) feels like a nice approach to local energy independence: Keep as much money away from the Fossil Capital corporations as possible...

I posted one photo of the Gingko with leaves earlier this week. The other photo was taken 96 hours later. The sub-freezing temperatures had the tree say "I'm done." #photography #GinkgoTree #Fall

These pics were taken in a photo run to the Washington Park Historic District in Albany NY on 2024-11-03.
Squirrels were out and about everywhere. Many of them were eating. The ginkgo tree leaves are turning a really bright yellow.

Thanks to the dog I hang out at this park almost everyday, often twice in one day. The chickens get us up early so it's easy to appreciate the trees in the morning before anybody else is in the park. This one ginkgo nut tree must be having a mast year or something. It's fun to collect the seeds (nuts?) before their covering turns yellow and stinky. I cast them around, bury them with Maron's poop. Maybe a few more cooling trees will arise from the playfulness?? It used to be fun to throw black walnuts around Tyler State Park.
