So Kewel!

I Have Atemoyas!!!!!!
You've probably seen them yrly in your local market's fancy fruit dept. They look a bit like a cross between an Artichoke and a Human heart...about the same size too;>! The taste is best described as tropical fruit salad custard. They're a subtropical relative of our PawPaw.
They're not hardy completely here(on mild Winters yes)so they need protection.They have these funky 3 petaled blossoms that smell like melon. The fruit, presently look like green Strawberries.
The hardest thing about them here is that there are no Pollinators so like the Akebia vines, you have to "Bee" one yourself. It's not hard, though at 1st it was a pain because the illustrations on the Internet were NOT accurate!You will almost always snap off at least one of the petals for instance. Also the blossoms never open up as fully as the illustratyions show.
So, hopefully this Fall I'll have creamy tropical custard for desert!
Cheers,
Pat

Sewing Confusion;>....

For a "lawful Good" sorta guy, I do tend to do more than my "officially" Chaotic" friends in confusing folks. A good example was recently with a couple of my Christian friends. They were"ragging" on Atheists and thought I'd be Supportive. I wasn't. While admitting many ARE very Annoying;>,they have a lot of good points. Heathens, Pagans and WIccas at least don't have to Beleive Literally in certain Mythic stories. One that I know wher I depart from a lot of my other "Faithie" friends is that of Ethical Behavior. I personally don't Beleive that "Doing Right" simply because you might be Punished by a God/dess(es) and/or in an Afterlife COUNTS. You do it because it's RIGHT. This is where I agree with my only Atheist friend(most are of the "evangelical" variety and are happy to realize that I tossed out Christianity but when they find out that my Heathen-ness isn't simply a newage pseudo-psychology...they bugger off). What's sadly funny is that all the Atheists I've known PERSONALLY have been naturally very Ethical people. In fact, that's what lead them away from the religion...
A reason many of us did our family faiths. We just didn't "buy" that just because one wasn't Tru, others were false as well.
