I could not help feeling superior as I surveyed the poor schmucks partaking of such costly fare while sipping their persimmon margaritas. |
Sitting by our persimmon tree last fall I watched a robin stretch out to peck off a piece of the bright, ripe fruit. |
Indeed, it was only last week that I noticed the change of colour in the leaves of the persimmon tree in our front yard. |
The produce includes strawberries, beans, avocado, persimmon, kiwifruit, oranges and other citrus fruit as well as flowers and plants. |
Early one morning, I entered my kitchen and found a persimmon and an apple partly gnawed. |
Add a juicy burst of persimmon and you have an oasis, a place to abandon the everyday. |
