You all did so well guessing what the twig toothbrush was-that I thought I’d give you another ‘what is it’. See the circular thing in the center of the pic-that looks like it has a tail? What is it?
I know many of you will get this one too. Come back tomorrow for the details.

Chestnut?
I’m stumped!
I am totally puzzled on this one. My husband says that it is some type of nut, but I do not have a clue.
I can’t wait to hear the answer!
dunno what it is.. but it looks like a fairies morracas.. lol thats what i picture them using it for.. late in the evenings when they are out in the garden..

Looks like a rose hip to me.
Tipper,
I don’t know what I’m seeing. It
looks like an offspring growth
coming from a vine. Anyway I’m not
familier with it, I don’t recon.
Now see what you’ve done: I won’t
get any sleep tonite!…Ken
I’m clueless on this one — it does resemble a poppy seed pod, but do they have tails? Mine don’t. And sycamore seed balls have bristles, so, I don’t know.
Looks like some sort of seed pod ??
baby gourd?
it’s a devil’s snuffbox!
Poppy seed head is my guess
I”m going to guess it’s a beech nut. I used to eat them during recess at school. We had a huge tree right behind the see-saws. I remember the shape of the nut and how we cracked them with our teeth. Ouch! Seems like I remember them having an outer shell…
well it looks like a poppy seed head but then maybe a small gourd and i am saying the first guess?
Some kind of nut or fruit?
Not one clue, Tipper. Looks like something growing but that’s the best I can do!
Sorry but I haven’t a clue Tipper. Could be a seed pod from a plant I suppose. Oh by the way I did the squash caserole and it was outstanding. Happy Labor Day to all. Going camping at Standing Indian if we don’t get rained out.
Tipper,
It looks like a Sycamore (seed) ball…If it is?…I found a few that were painted white, with a little split on the end of the stem for hanging..Used to hang on the Christmas tree. They were in my Mothers older Christmas box along with some painted White Pine cones and other old timey decorations…guess she just couldn’t bear to throw them away!
Thanks Tipper
