We're Expecting!

This hummingbird, we've been told it's an Anna, decided to put her nest on our awning! Our heat sensor has registered up to 112 degrees under that blue tarp so we are not sure if they won't cook!
The eggs are the size of a pea!
You can see where Steve taped the hole in her nest so the eggs wouldn't roll out.

Chico Zapote

A most extraordinary fruit! Kinda ugly to look at but, as you can see below, quite pretty inside. The flavor is unlike anything we have had before and very sweet. Apparently the Chico Zapote has a very short season and must be eaten when very ripe otherwise it is very astringent with alot of tannins and quite nasty!

Breakfast anyone?
