Good morning, Cafe and thanks Shad. Not sure of temp. - haven't stuck my head outside yet, but it has to be humid as there is condensation on the outside of the windows.

You have AC?
Have seen it so humid here the condensation clings to the window screens...
...... with the windows open!

Not today tho...70° & 80%....cool and clammy.

You have AC?

When we bought our house 55 years ago there was no air conditioning. Princess wanted an air conditioner. I said, "I grew up without AC - it's not necessary." Dumb me. That night I was feeling amorous, and she said "It's entirely too hot - not necessary tonight." I bought an air conditioner the very next day.

Good morning Cafe.
Thanks for the coffee Shad.

Nice here; blue skies, little puffy white clouds drifting by, not too hot, in fact just right for a spot of work in the garden. I notice the mulberry has quite a lot of developing fruit; just hope it gets to ripeness this year! I've been waiting 20 years for that tree to fruit!

Wow, finally after that long! That's got to be awesome

I don't envy you guys and your humidity. Heading for 95° today but about 30% humidity. Still hot, just isn't the same!

20 years! You sure are patient!

Well, can't really claim the credit because for 18 years I was too busy to bother about it. Last year I almost chopped it down to make room for something that would fruit, and it must have heard me because it produced half dozen fruits - but they dropped before maturity, and this year I gave it another chance. There are a lot more young fruits, but they're not ripe yet ...

Wow, finally after that long! That's got to be awesome

They are worth waiting for. I've only ever had some from a very old tree on someone else's property; never seen them in a shop - apparently they are a nightmare to try to pack and transport, with no storage qualities at all. But eaten off the tree - scrumptious! And they don't taste like anything else, so I can't describe it.

That is very interesting. I'd love to see a picture of it and the fruits! I love fruit trees, probably because we can grow so few here. I know how I feel about them fruiting every year. I can't imagine waiting 20!

Sounds like Paw paws, they are hard to ship too. We have hundreds of young trees here. Personally, I don't care for them. But the wild animals do. Especially the bears and coons.
