I was mystified by the label on these figs; Organic Brown Turkey Figs. The organic part I mostly understand, philosophy if not actual practice. I had trouble parsing Brown Turkey – are they (or their ancestors) from Turkey? do they resemble turkies (yes rather) I just stood there staring at them until I realized they would taste good. So I brought them home and subjected them to an intense bout of photography before eating them.

The Sunday postcard, posted late because when you send children away for a sleepover, frequently there is not much sleeping done and they can take days to recoop. Alice was having a meltdown last night. She’s better today. Aerin will have hers tomorrow, but she has no school on account of Election Day which happens in many of the schools and they don’t want the kids there while strangers go in and out and do civic things like vote. It is a curious reversal of the general rule that private school has fewer school days than public.

Anyhow – this is a sweet brown Bosc pear.
