Fragrant, comely fruit
reddening along the bough—
dare I pluck it now?

    You’re never really sure until you take that first bite. This is a beautiful photo, and the haiku says so much. We visited the local orchard the day after Mrs. Spadoman and I returned from New Mexico. We bought our favorite Honeycrisp apples and enjoyed the crispy coolness and sweet taste. These look like they’re ready. I can taste them.

    Peace

    Yours are full and perfect and almost red. I had to pluck some pomegranates, ready or not, for the Rosh Hashana table, they being a symbolic fruit for this holiday.

    Pomegranates are one of my all time favorite fruits…so much work, but totally worth getting to its luscious sweetness! You are one lucky lady!

    ‘Pick it and pluck it and taste it an see’ – that little phrase came into my head when I saw this, though I can’t remember where it comes from!

    Ah promegranates. We have just finished eating the ones from our tree.
    We dared to cut them all at once in the beginning of September.
