Saturday Smiles: Persimmons Rule in Santa Barbara & 2 Million Points!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

 

On an another gorgeous cool and sunny morning, we took off for the Santa Barbara Market.  Persimmons are known as the "food of the gods."  From our standpoint having been tricked into tasting an unripe persimmon once, we appreciate them for their color, and not so much their taste.  The ones  pictured above can be eaten when ripe, and do not make your mouth feel like it has been turned inside out!  When cut horizontally, they have a beautiful star shape.

 

This is the lethal one, you have to wait till it gets to a mushy state before you even dare to eat it.  It is called the Hachiya Persimmon.

 

With this post, we pass the 2 Million mark on Active Rain.  It has been a delightful journey, and we appreciate the conversations, the posts we have read, and the people on this platform.  This is the best real estate platform in the social media universe.

 

Wishing you lots of Saturday Smiles,

Good morning A.  The 2 million points is a goal of mine.  It will be a couple of years before I reach it (God willing).  My mother made jelly using Persimmons.  Not fond of it but I can still remember the taste when I see them.

Congrats on bursting through the two million point mark.  I wonder if we'll all still be celebrating the multiple millions of points when it gets to four and five.
