I don't care who you are; get those reindeer off my roof! Clean that mess up before you leave, too.

It's on a GFCI circuit, does that count?

Your helth depends on your food, and if you eat junk. ......

Your health is then junk.

@chicken hawk 33 , almost forgot... now that you have clipped the wings of your birds you have to find a way to predator proof your enclosure, because now they can't fly away from predators.

I've never clipped wings. I guess they were flying out of the trampoline frame.

Penedesencas don't go over fences no matter how short they are. The buggers try to sneak under though.

Wonderful combination! Good for you!
Indeed persimmon, the market is overrun by it, and Anona

All our meals are good since I got my wife to embrace a paleo diet. Used to be too much starch and not enough fruit.
Breakfast is always a couple kinds of fruit, eggs, meat and usually nuts.
I just noticed the persimmons are heavy in the trees. When I first moved here I was happy to see native fruit trees but then discovered that there had to be two to produce fruit. I inventoried all the trees on the property and only found the one but I had fruit. Then I looked up across the road (neighbor's driveway) and there was another almost identical to mine. Hers has more fruit on it now because I haven't cut the wild grapevines off of mine yet.

I have a persimmon tree, but they are small and taste like slimy soap. Also full of great big seeds.

Not delightful.

They have to go through a freeze and be completely ripe or they are inedible.

they dont look very edible

I liked eating them as a kid when we had several in the bottomland forest on the farm and I hadn't eaten them again till I moved here.
They are an acquired taste but don't dare eat one before completely ripe.
The ones at the grocery store are better than the MO natives.

This is my favorite

Those look delicious.

I chopped down my persimmon tree, best decision I ever made regarding that tree. They were so nasty and they made the biggest mess all over the yard.

My tree is at the very back of the property over chicken area. Every morning through winter when the coops open up, the chickens make a beeline under the tree to eat what had fallen overnight.

I suppose... At least I trust you to put the medicine away after using them.

Funny what we notice.

Yes as long as you test it monthly. Plus babies usually can't climb onto kitchen counters.

National Electric Code (NEC) has required GFCI protected outlets in all bathrooms, kitchen counters, basements, garages and all outdoors for at least 20 years.
Basically anywhere water is possibly present.
