Do You Know Your Leaves?

Take a look around the Alabama landscape right now and you can see a beautiful display of vibrant colors as the trees prepare to shed their leaves for winter. The shape and color of the leaves on every tree and bush are unique. This got us thinking. Just how well do we know our leaves? Do we know which tree or bush they belong? Test your skills to see if you can correctly identify the leaf pictures below. Don't worry. The answers are at the bottom of the newsletter, but no cheating!

Let's see how you well you know your leaves. Here's the answers:

Picture #1: Harmony Hydrangea- Hydrangea quercifolia - Known as the Sheep's Head Hydrangea. It likes well-drained soil and prefers part-shade.

#2: Flowering Dogwood - Cornus floridus. An early spring bloomer, it grows 15 to 25 feet.

#3: Japanese Maple - Acer palmatum. Grows 20 to 33 feet. There are many varieties to this tree.

#4: Ginkgko Biloba Tree - Maidenhair Tree. Reaches 50-80 feet in height. Said to be the oldest living tree on the planet. Extract from the tree is used for medicinal and culinary purposes.
#5: Bald Cypress - Taxodium distichum. Grows 50-75 feet or more. Called the wood eternal because of the wood's resistance to decay.
#6: Coral Bark Maple - "Sango Kaku". Japanese maple prized for its colorful winter twigs.
#7: Chinese Pistache - Pistacia chinensis. Grows to 40 feet tall. Pest, drought and heat resistant.
#8: Magnolia Pyramidata - One of the rarest magnolias in North America. Grows to 30 feet with creamy white flowers and an unpleasant odor.

Mom's Pecan Pie

This recipe is reprinted from Southern Living. The easy to make

pie takes only 10 minutes to prep and tastes delicious.
(For a richer flavor, use dark corn syrup)

Ingredients:

- 1 1/2 cups pecan pieces

- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 3 large eggs

- 3/4 cup light or dark corn syrup

- 2 tablespoons melted butter

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1 (9 inch) deep dish unbaked pie shell

Directions:

1. Spread pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet.

2. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until toasted.

3. Blend sugar, eggs, syrup, butter, vanilla and salt. Stir in pecans and pour in pie shell.

4. Bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes or until set. (Note: cover pie with aluminum foil after 20 minutes of cooking to prevent over-browning).

Serve warm or cold. May be served with whipped topping or ice cream.

Duck Dynasty Star Spotted Driving a Kubota in Bessemer

Actually, the star, Si Robertson, turned out to be none other than Cahaba Tractor employee Dale Gamble operating the hayride at the annual Oasis of Praise Fall Festival held last month. At least he didn't forget the tupperware cup! Happy, Happy, Happy!

If you'd rather not wait to get up at the crack of dawn on Black Friday to go wait in line at some store for a special sale on another tie he doesn't want, then come on over and see us today. Our Year-End Closeout Sale has great products at a great price that you know he'll love.

Happy Thanksgiving, from our house to yours.

Sincerely,

Be Prepared

Grandma was showing the children a painting of the Pilgrim Family on a Thanksgiving Day card that they had received and she commented, "The Pilgrim children enjoyed going to church with their mothers and fathers and praying to God."

Her youngest grandson looked at her doubtfully and asked, "Then why is their Dad carrying that rifle?"
