9/16: first fig

We bought our house in October 2007, and before we had even moved in Chris planted some small fig trees in the yard. Fall 2008 would have been too early to hope for any fruit, but this year we've been keeping our fingers crossed. One of the trees has a number of baby green figs, but only one of them has been ripening in a promising way. Today it was ready to pick! It was beautifully white and rosy inside, and we shared the few bites that it comprised. A homegrown fig is definitely a good thing.

I'm so sorry that your daughter's cat got hurt, but what a relief it must be that he returned!
