So, lets start with Figs! We love em :) We have a total of 17 trees today. All different kinds like dark, light, green, purple, striped, big, small, open eye and closed eye. They are all treasures to us, some gifts from friends in different parts of the country and some from W.M. and everything in between. If you have never had a fresh fig you need to. And thats hard unless you know someone with a tree because figs spoil very quickly. The taste changes quickly after picked and if you put them in the fridge they go bland. Our trees are finally out of the baby stage and should be pretty much set this year. Fresh figs for all my friends! What you see in that picture is a baby fig growing on the tree :)
Now for the flowers in the pictures, Im not a flower gardener and I cannot take any credit for those blossoms. They belong to my Dads wife and their neighbor. Though they let us have both blossoms. Yay!
The frog was ours, lucky us! He lived in our potted marigolds. At night he would come out onto the front porch and eat the junebugs. It was his little ritual (or hers Im thinking)and he was always there. Last spring and summer we had a tiny version of that frog living in our front porch post. I will post him soon.
The fawn was spotted on our little vacation to Turkey Texas. There were lots of them but that was the best picture. These pictures were all taken in June of 2008. Fun stuff!
