Very cool that pears are members of the rose family.
I have never been much of a fruit lover, but I am getting a bit better. Right now I'm imagining sitting in the back yard on a night when there's some chill in the air, fire pit crackling, me sitting by the fire and sipping some nice pear wine. Mmmmm!!!!
"I had a little nut tree, nothing it would bear
But a silvery nutmeg and a golden pear;
The king of Spain's daughter came to visit me,
And all for the sake of my little nut tree.
Her dress was made of crimson,
Jet black was her hair,
She asked me for my nut tree
And my golden pear.
I said, "So fair a princess
Never did I see,
I'll give you all the fruit
From my little nut tree." Nursery Rhyme

Hey there Ms. Libby,
Thank you for posting on pears. I love pears far more than apples as harbingers of autumn. Such lovely flavors and textures (much more diversity in the pear world than amongst apples!).
Your blog is still not displaying very well for me... dark background makes most text really hard to read! Will try at work on Safari, maybe that is the ticket?
Anyhow, lady, you turned me on to a few of my most recent favorite musicians and you clearly love music. Plus your links are always excellent.
Uh, forgive me? But TAG: YOU'RE IT with the Seven Songs Meme:
"seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now". Just supposed to list 'em, don't need to link to them.
Hello again Libby,
Now your blog is displaying just fine -- on a PC running IE 6.0.
I think it is my laptop not your blog that has display issues.
Looks beautiful!
Hi Laundress,
It seems to be an hour to hour thing. I went into Netscape just the other day to see if I could view my blog and geez-the background was super dark. I had gone into it the day before and it was fine. So strange. I'm glad to hear from you and I will list my songs. Thanks for the meme. Libby
