Gnarled Pawpaw Fingers

There was a California quail outside sitting on the handlebar of W's bike this morning.

 And I took some pics of the small pawpaws on the KSU-Atwood and the Shenandoah.

On the scale insects that I talked about last time....NJ and I picked most of them off on the day that we found them. And then the next morning I picked off a good batch. Since then, I've only been finding one or two on the trees per day. The trees are still pretty small, so doing this by hand works for now.
