The Wisdom of the Turnings
Happy Memorial Day! For many of us, this day marks the unofficial beginning of summer. But the land keeps its own calendar. This essay reflects on the sacred year here in Kansas City as it turns through migrating wings, hedge apples, first frost, thawing clay, and spring storms.https://pagangrove.wordpress.com/2026/05/25/the-spirituality-of-seasonal-transitions/

Poison Ivy has taken over this old (likely dead) Osage Orange tree. Something better seen in person. I've taken numerous pictures through the years but none ever portray it well...

Osage Orange tree fruit. As a kid I quickly learned you'll get all sticky gooey if you try handling them or crack one open to find out what's inside😬

Saw these strange (to me) fruits—#Osageorange— today in Riverside Park #UWSNYC south of W 79th.
“The fruit of Osage-orange is where this and the hedge-apple name comes from. Osage-orange is neither a citrus tree nor an apple, but the large, round, green to yellow fruit suggest each to some extent…The closest relatives of Osage-orange are actually the mulberries. The mastodon used to eat them.

Really excited after 8 years in this current house for my little #OsageOrange #trees to have produced their first fruits! So far, 6 of these grapefruit-sized beauties have fallen off these trees.
It's such a sacred tree to native peoples from this part of the world – the most prized for #bows – and the distribution probably influenced by human trade and planting. Otherwise it's fascinating for its rot-resistant wood, and that #GroundSloths probably loved these fruits.

I found an #OsageOrange #MastoTrees
This tree is next to a road in an area that has only recently been developed, so there's still a lot of native plants and trees (they're doing their best to eliminate those, though 😢)
I spotted it from the road a couple days ago and went back today. The really aged fruit had rolled down the road about 50', the two spotted green ones were windfalls already, and the bright green fell when I shook a branch
