go to sleep plant

A mimosa, so named because if you touch its leaves they fold up like it's sleeping & a few minutes later they open again.

My Granddad had a go to sleep plant, as we called it & we as kids loved to make it "go to sleep". It's fascinating!

fyne

A code word meaning "fine" by Abed & Troy from the TV show Community.

pay phones

Phones that cost 50 cents to use & are out in public. They used to be 10 cents in the 70's & 5 cents in New Orleans.

When I used pay phones in the 70's, I was surprised that it only gave 3 minutes of talk time for 10 cents!

pine tree

A type of evergreen that grows from 45' to 100' & even to 145' tall! They live 100 to 1000 years with the oldest living organism in the World being the Bristlecone Pine having Over 4600 Years old! Pine nuts are harvested from the pine cones & used to make pesto & also used as a snack.

I'm delighted to have an 80' tall pine tree in my yard! They're highly fragrant & smell so fresh!

angel touch

When you feel a touch, like on your shoulder, & you're alone~nobody else is there; that's an angel touch! Your loved ones who've passed on are your Guardian Angels & it was probably 1 of them.

She felt the angel touch so many times; there was no doubt in her mind that it was her guardian angel.
