Fresh Figs!

It has already been so encouraging having Brandon here! He is good motivation to keep me plugging away at the double digging. We finished about 2/3 of the plot today and hopefully finish it up tomorrow. We were extremely exahusted on this 95 degree day after we were done and have settled in the A/C for a bit.
We all headed over to a neighbors house and demolished some fig picking. I'm not sure if one fig was left after our five person pick. They are so ripe they fall right off the tree. With one bite you taste the sweetest of liquid run through your mouth. We collected about five bags and I hope to make some fig chutney to eat for breakfast. Food doesn't get much better than this!
A little treat. Cindy will finish bottlingn up her Muscadine (grapes) wine tonight and I hope to have some for dinner, as they have invited us over. It will be no French wine but I'm sure to enjoy the local flavor.
