I would have thought squirrel claw marks–but then I saw that beak jab. This one just wasn’t ripe enough yet to be dislodged from the tree that way like the last one was.
Citrus thorns alone hadn’t been enough to keep them off either of them.
So I tried plan B. And this time I succeeded in getting the clamshells to snap shut on both sides. In past years raccoons have pried those open, but since they haven’t been out there till now, whereas with my Fuji apples in previous years I had them out the whole season long, I guess the current critter crop hasn’t figured them out yet.
Which means I got to share a ripe fig with my husband this morning. It was delicious.
On a side note, the breaking news tonight at the Washington Post is that the FDA just okayed booster Moderna and Pfizer doses for the immunocompromised. My cardiologist has already told me he wants me to get one as soon as they okay it.

Hooray! That is great news!
Comment by DebbieR 08.12.21 @ 10:13 pmMy daughter will have to get the booster also. I pray the rate of infection will go down but it sure does not look good right now. We went for several weeks with no deaths and now there are deaths daily. It is very disheartening that so many are refusing the vaccine and endangering so many more.
