Good morning, Penny,
Thanks for the pear tree tale yesterday. My server was down, so that I
could receive but not respond to email. Plants and animals have an
uncanny sense, one that it will take scientists years yet to fathom, of
who loves them or who can leave them alone.
We have only about 8 'cots ripening on the tree now; the rest are in a
bowl in our dining room, ripening beautifully, out of harm's way.
I think I will press our snake into service when the nectarines start to
mature. Funny thing how animals know when fruit is ripe!
