Tree Pods
Today was the back-to-school ice cream social sponsored by PTO at the school where I teach. I took a ton of pictures of the kids and parents enjoying ice cream and playing on the swings and other playground equipment. Some are really good, but I didn't get anyone's permission to publish them here, so you get the tree instead. There are a few of these trees in the playground and ever fall they drop these massive seed pods everywhere. I have no idea what sort of tree they are (a shameful thing for a science teacher to admit!) but they are unlike any other tree I've seen around here. I suspect they are native to some other climate.

These are weird trees. I remember my Aunt Vi had one in her yard where I grew up in Long Island. My brother and cousins and I would call them "beans" and we'd run around whipping each other with them. OMG, they hurt so bad! LOL!
