That is a bad arse fishing picture. You can catch Tuna from shore up there? Love seeing all the fisherman here! I guess figs and fishing go hand in hand. Here I am (on the left with the Mahi). And also doing one of my favorite things....scalloping (gotta wear camo to sneak up on the scallops :) !

Hi Maris, your town looks very beautiful, thank you for showing it to us. One of my very best friends is from Bielsko-Biala, Poland. He is a fine art photographer, and I have seen many amazing photographs of Poland. Do you have much success growing figs?

Thank you for your kind words and I invite you to visit Poland especially Lesser Poland. ;)
Yeah, I live near Bielsko-Biala so maybe even know this friend... ;) Just kidding, but if you ever will be in Bielsko you could vist Lackorona, it is an hour drive from Bielsko.
No, just start growing. This is my second year. I think that in a next year I will have some breba crops. ;) Maybe next year I'll have more varieties. So I have to wait and wait... :(

Here's my dog and I walking back to the house during a snowstorm. This is from a week ago and we've gotten more snow since then with another 12+ coming on Sat/Sun. People keep saying that Spring is coming, I'm not convinced yet.

Thanks for the bump. I was thinking about this yesterday and wondered as to revive it or not. If you notice the count, it was very successful. God bless all, and a Merry Christmas to all. Thank you to all that serve our country and may be in harm's way.

It sucks that he can do as he pleases, and will flat out tell you that. He has my 3 cup in his stickies, he just refuses to delete my account. Sorry to change subject of the thread. I wish somebody out there could convince him I'm not going back and I want my private photo removed. Doug
