We have a lot of these evergreen yew trees in the area. These pretty berries are eaten by the birds. However the seed within is poisonous. It is interesting to learn that the birds pass the seed undamaged in their droppings. Other birds can eat around the seed.
There was the cutest kid in the drugstore the other day. He was counting up his small change at the cashier until he came up with $10 and had a sigh of relief. He was able to buy his video game card. He said he had been saving up for weeks for this and was so happy.

Pretty tree. Good for that kid saving up his money to buy what he wanted. Hugs, Valerie
I've been that cute little kid saving up for something and being ever so happy when I got it. I'm glad that the kid had enough in the end.
Aww Mark good for you too!
That was the bad thing about being a kid, took forever to earn up to 10 bucks
Oh, I love how realistic this looks.
Beautiful.
What a breath of fresh air; a child that is encouraged to SAVE and not just GIVEN. :)
I saw the same yesterday at the Dollar Store. A little fella was buying a toy sword and gave the cashier his roll of nickles, very nervous until she actually gave him some change lol!
That story about that kid...so cute!
That's interesting about the tree, it's quite pretty. What a sweet story about the kid.
Saving for weeks. Too cute 🎃
aww!
exactly how I felt!
Sounds like my nephew at that age. So cute. Poisonous? It's amazing what the birds can eat. My elderly neighbor actually convinced my 5 year old daughter and her friend (son of my friend, Peggy) to taste some Bitter Nightshade berries which he said were currants. Good grief! I couldn't believe he didn't know better. I called poison control and Peggy and I had to give our two kids Syrup of Ipecac. It was awful!
Just love the story about the cute kid!
Good for him.
All the best Jan
