First Fruit!
My desk is next to a big window that looks out to my fig tree, which actually grows right up against the window. Just to my left there I see the first ripe fig of the year!! YAY!! If the only figs you've ever tasted have been in a newton or otherwise dried, you absolutely must taste a fresh fig! They are soft and sweet. In fact, it is the fruit with the most sugar. Soon enough I'll be making raspberry-fig jam and proscuitto-fig pizza. I have a huge crop, so come by some day and eat some fresh off the tree!
