The cherimoya is often considered one of the best-tasting fruits in the world, its commercial production hampered by its short shelf-life, often tender skin and difficulty harvesting the fruit. The cherimoya's rich and creamy pulp, with a hint of a sweet fruity flavor, makes an excellent dessert fruit and is becoming increasingly popular in temperate climates.

Taking aim at the guy with the camera!

Pinecone, our Maine Coon mix tortoiseshell cat, with her new boyfriend Andy, who came from a second-hand store. Pinecone herself was on the way to the pound when we took her in. The very next day she had kittens!

I'm actually not sure exactly what this is, but my buddy found it on the ground while in the Atlas mountains and it pretty much looked to me like a rose and a pine cone got it on and had a baby....
