quail!

A family of quails seems to have taken up residence close to our courtyard. Perhaps we'll invite them over for dinner...

Summer...

A brown turkey fig tree planted against the south stucco wall of our house. We're building a metal trellis that we'll put in place behind the tree so that we can espalier the tree flat against the wall. Photograph on the right shows baby figs. The countdown to bacon wrapped figs has officially begun.
