The weather may be gloomy & grey- but the plants & flowers in my yard are anything but.
I'm fairly certain the cactus in my front yard is a prickly pear...does anyone know if all varieties of the fruit from the prickly pear are edible (ours never turn a full red color)?
My husband says yes, but I am not so sure.
It looks good- sort of like a kiwi fruit on the inside!

Amanda Jane,
thanks!I've always thought that about overcast days- esp. rainy days in the autumn- that's when the fall colors look their very best!
Just took a peek at your blog- lovely- and I love that you are a letterpress artist.
