Perfect Pear
I grew this pear and I'm so proud of it. It's perfect in every way except for one, taste. I haven't tried it yet, but in past years they have all tasted like raw potatoes.
As they ripen, they turn a lovely shade of yellow with a peach blush.
When a pear is so pretty, does it really matter what it tastes like? (Only if you plan to eat it.)

Yes Melissa, you have a perfect pair...ooops...pear!
neer neer...got in before Dave!
Lol, Michelle. If only it were true. Sarah is the one with the perfect pair. I just have a perfect pear.
OMG Melissa I can't believe you! I know you must be referring to my front teeth since I went back to the dentist! I was going to suggest you use that perfect pear in a still life. (Yes everyone, Melissa is an artist too).
I only do flowers and ballerinas, not fruit, and it's a real stretch to call me an artist.
There's no need to be modest about God's gift to you (and to all of the men who see you). ;)
My mother owns a poker shirt that reads 'perfect pair'. Seriously. She's crazy.
Anyway, that is indeed a perfect pair and very lovely. I'm on a pear kick right now myself, devouring a red anjou per day (along with tangelos, mmmm. and gala apples. ok, and kiwis. but not all at once. I'm a fruitaholic).
LOL, Michelle. Good thing you're a hemisphere away. If we were in the same room, I think I'd get in trouble. ;)
I have the same disorder, Mary. I call it by a different name, though, fruitarian.
I wish that we could all meet. I would love to see Michelle and Dave in the same room. I would just keep some restraints and special "cocktails" on hand in case things got out of control.
LOL,wouldn't it be fun! I feel a potential hangover just thinking about it :)
Seriously though, imagine the fun we'd all have. There are so many wonderful bloggers out there, all so interesting and fun......it would be a blast to meet one day.
I don't think that's the kind of cocktail she's talking about, Michelle. Think "Mickey Finn" ;)
You're absolutely right, Dave. (I love chemical restraints for emergencies. They come in so handy sometimes.)
We could have plenty of booze, food and chocolate and have a great time. :)
Did somebody say booze, food & chocolate? I'm on my way over!
All you need to bring is dogs. :)
No problem, I have that covered. I'm going to drop off a donation for the Katrina dogs at the animal shelter, maybe I could pick a couple extra's up while I'm there!
