1. My dear Lex!
Now, these are just beautiful!

How nice you have a fig tree...

I should get some pics of my orange bushes...

I love how the second pic is back lit...

And I also love the shallow depth of field in the first!

Thanks for posting, sweetie!

:hug:

6. If you have orange bushes,
you can make a great orange leaf infusion tea.

just put tender young leaves in a pot, add boiling hot water, steep for a few minutes, and serve with orange blossom honey.

I miss being in citrus country.

7. I actually have two orange bushes...
Wow, that sounds really yummy!

It would be safe for me to do, too...We don't use any pesticides on our shrubs...

Thanks, sweetie!

3. Yes, that is beautiful.
Do you make jam or fig newtons?

4. No, I like 'em plain.
But I keep meaning to learn to make fig preserves. I haven't so far.

5. This little figgy went to market...


And this little figgy stayed home


This little figgy went with roast beef


And this little figgy went with none


And this little figgy went weeweeweeweewee all the way home.
