Thanks Jo, This is interesting. It reminds me of what we call a Thorn Tree. I have looked for mushroons in the woods and got a thorn that run threw my tennis shoes & into my foot. Needless to say it is very painful for many days. I don't go mushroon hunting anymore, but do like to eat them. We also have woods ticks that get on you and suck blood out.

This Kudzu, I read, not much kills it either. They have goats to keep it down. I was wondering why so many goats. They are known as something nobody wants up here. No thanks Gaye. I'll keep my Snow On The Mountain up here! I hope yours does well too! Folks I took her some.
