sweetgum



why on earth were they ever named sweetgum?
they're not sweet. in fact, they're
nature's little balls of hell.
not fun to step on.
not fun to step on with bare feet
not fun to rake up
not fun when they land on your head from the tree above.

but they're awesome looking.
like sea urchins from the forest.

i have an abundance of them. does anyone want some?
will gladly ship.

happy friday
