Winter garden


I'm quite delighted with the beautiful colours in my garden right now, despite it being the middle of Winter (21st was the solstice). The persimmons are divinely orange against what is a mostly grey sky, and the greens are somehow so much greener and any spot of colour just leaps out at you.
I've been reading Ursula le Guin again and she always helps me focus on the important things in life...like beautiful orange persimmons.

How do we get some of those persimmons...

Yeah- they look good Stefano, but they're those ones that taste all chalky and make your face pucker up when you eat them...I still haven't worked out how to make the most of them!
