The figs I've been drying for the last couple of weeks are a different
variety from the one in the photo. That one's from a tree that bears
later in the summer, generally. The fig in question burst of its own
accord on the tree, as have three or four others of its brethren (or
sistrern?). I blame the insane amounts of rain this summer for the
'splodin' fig malfunction, but I haven't a clue about it, actually.
The burst figs look (to me) like some sort of itty bitty monster in a
really-creepy-but-bad sci-fi movie. All they need is a lethargic
throb and a minor key soundtrack to finish the job.
