A few more weeks, a little more sweetness

A true sign of Equinox: the gray tail flapping wildly as a squirrel tries to avoid the thorns among the fading leaves while trying to get at a deep pink ripening pomegranate.

You can’t just pull one off the tree like an apple: if you want to take the whole thing it requires pruning shears, preferably sharp.

Or a good long session with one’s teeth if that’s your preference.

It didn’t take much interruption to make it decide it wasn’t worth it.

Yet.
