A free gift

Figs, July 2024 



 Figs for the finding
bird, possum, insect, racoon
a gift, a free gift



* One day a lady was walking down the hallway at church. She was holding a tray with small cuttings from her fig tree and offered me one. The mother tree was more than 80 years old and had belonged to her parents in San Antonio. She told me the figs would be as red as strawberries and the best I ever tasted. She was right. Sad to say, these last few got water-logged and split from all the rain, so I'm sharing them with the creatures who visit the backyard. I bet they will be gone by tomorrow morning
