Posted this at VeblenHouse.org, but forgot to post it here.
Tomorrow, Sunday, Jan. 3, come by Veblen House in Herrontown Woods, where our Friends of Herrontown Woods group is hosting a gathering to show off the recent transformation of the Veblen House landscape. Should be a beautiful day, but cool, so dress warmly, and we'll have something warm to drink. In addition to touring the grounds, you can participate in a planting of pawpaws to symbolize new beginnings, not to mention future harvests of delicious tropical-tasting fruits. We'll be there 2-4pm.
Directions: Reach the Veblen House by entering the gravel driveway across from 443 Herrontown Road in Princeton (look for Rotary sign wrapped around a tree), or by taking the trail from the Herrontown Woods parking lot up to the farm cottage (cedar shingle siding) and taking a right through the fence. Veblen House appears as a small white square on this map, north of the parking lot.
this was fun but I sort of expected some one to break out out into a chorus of this:

I have a baaaad singing voice so did not do so myself.
As with this author, I also learned this song as a small child before I had any idea what a paw paw was, and I had to look it up, which pre-internet was arduous and involved things like libraries and encyclopedias... http://www.agr.georgia.gov/is-that-a-pawpaw-in-your-pocket.aspx
You're right! We should have sung the song. Next year. Thanks for the link to more info about pawpaws at the Georgia site.
