NOT SO DREARY DOG DAYS OF SUMMER






It may be August in Texas, but there's still color to be had!

I don't think I've ever seen a prickly pear with that many blooms on it. They really are amazing this year!

Your prickly pears are **loaded**. After seeing Samantha Brown eat the fruit on her travel show I did some research on prickly pears as I've never eaten or prepared them. They will be my next culinary adventure! Isn't that color scrumptious? Tastespotting.com has some lovely pics; search using 'prickly pear.'

P.S. Terrific pics, as always!

Prickly pear margaritas are great!
