Mōrena everybody, welcome to November. I hope you all survived your Halloween last night, and haven't eaten too many lollies or chocolates. I find it interesting to look at celebrations like these, to find out the origins of them and how they have changed and spread over time. I remember as a kid that halloween was just something you heard about in American books or TV shows, now it is a big business here. 

Here is todays joke, we are branching out slightly, I wasn't sure whether to leaf it out or not, but it does kind of grow on you. I hope you all have a great day, stay safe, take care.

How can you tell if a tree is a Dogwood tree?

By it's bark.
