GREEN PASSION
This is a passion fruit that split due to the vagaries of the weather, I suspect.
I am nott a consistent waterer--the price of
town water is going up once again. At this rate, I shall be growing cacti anyday now. Rainfall has been erratic, Bambi an family ate all the tomato plants in my neighborhood and there is general mommixity among the hardening folk. The most promising fruit if the Maypop is what you see--tragic if it were not so beautiful.
I have been busy preparing for an upcoming jewelry show and making new blog,
to show my newest work.
Obama, Tzipi Livni, Ehud Barak, hurricanes are but a blur. Work
I must.
