Your life and community sound a lot like mine, even though you're where you are and I'm in a small place in the middle of California. I cried when I read about the closing of Yellow Dog books and have learned so much Melanie Dane Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14905829678929677625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21359414.post-70632701861875689822008-09-14T20:07:00.000-05:002008-09-14T20:07:00.000-05:00I'm glad y'all didn't have any storm damage.

We never get the slight give, before deterioration begins. Apples are the same.<BR/><BR/>I read somewhere that the reason the south doesn't produce great pears and apples is because a cool snap is needed (and I don't mean temperatures of 80) to bring the sugar to the fruit which also brings the color and ripening agents.<BR/><BR/>There Wisteriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01646131135706997373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21359414.post-58276657875492295092008-09-05T08:45:00.000-05:002008-09-05T08:45:00.000-05:00That's lovely!

Our pear tree is full and I am thinking that once they are ready (mature and have a slight give to them) I'll pull them all off the tree. <BR/><BR/>But I'm nervous! This the first year since we planted to tree almost 10 years ago that we have pears!Bobbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01424956282928247574noreply@blogger.com
