I found this two-legged critter sampling a ripe Excel in my fig cage this afternoon, but unlike the usual feathered visitors this one was more than welcome. While migrating from Louisiana's bayou country en route to visit Fig Paradise in San Diego, Gene and Linda Collins stopped by for a break in Tucson. Gene and I discussed figs and alligators, and our better halves demonstrated the patience that comes from years of exposure to such conversations. There really ought to be a support group for F4F spouses! I always enjoy connecting a face with a name and figured you would too--so here's Gene.
