When the mustang grapes ripen, I'll be making wine, and again when the cactus pears come into season.

I never turn my nose up at good forage.

Be careful of those grape vines. If you’re allergic, your hands will burn like the dickens. I’ve put up both mustand grape jelly and prickly pear jelly but they’ve pretty much burned out all the cactus around here.

The caterpillar/worms have made this one of their biblical invasions this year. They’ve stripped the trees and send armies through the garden and then crawl in mass up the house walls and into the house at every crack, eww. Not so eww that I’d be opposed to creating a recipe for them one day though.

I’m fattening up our tree rats on bird seed, the little thieves. They’re plentiful. There are a few dove the size of cornish hens.
