SCUPADINE
Courtney and Lawson came home, for a few hours, Friday to attend a funeral. When we returned home, from the funeral, John and Lawson changed clothes quickly so they could go outside and play before the trip back to Birmingham. 
Lawson loves to eat off the scupadine vine that our neighbor has between our yards. Law eats the scupadines skin, seeds and all. John spends time showing him how to spit out the skins and seed and he can do it correctly but we assume that he thinks that is too much trouble. Today was another rainy day and I thought I would write a post to keep for a day when it was needed. Law eating the scupadines Friday made me remember these pictures that I took back in August.
I decided to publish the post now after this happened
I can't believe that I am about to tell this but luckily
I don't mind laughing at myself
Let me start by saying that I have always thought of myself as a good speller Really I am!
That having been said.........
I have always heard of this fruit that Law was eating
I thought I understood what people were saying when they called it by name
I decided maybe I needed to double check my spelling before I started this post
so I..........
Went to edit on my computer and typed in the word

Ms Joy I have never been able to Spell and half the time forget to do the Spell check seems I am always in a hurry. I love the post. Each time my children come to Berry to visit my mom and dad They eat nothing unless it comes from the wild they will load the golf cart and off to the woods they go and a few yards on the way always eating Figs Blackberries Blueberries Apples Pears Pecans Crab Apples Muscadines Percimon.....lol how would you spell that? You name it if they can find it they will eat it no washing off or anything.
Their great to eat!! Doesn't matter how you spell it!!!!
The boys call them "muskydimes" and Houston absolutely loves them. We have been having to "limit his input" due to the "unlimited output".ha
