More wildflowers.

 Took these the day we went to get wild grapes.  This is a sunflower patch.
Couldn't pass up this Datura.
And a few Penstemons to brighten the day as well.
As I wrote before, we got the grapes and Phillip made Cactus fruit and grape jelly.  Then we went back again for more grapes and he made plain grape jelly.
We picked the last of the apples in the hidden orchard and Phillip found a pear tree.  Not too many pears.  Some old varity. They are more round than pear shaped. Have red on them too.  Thought at first they were apples.Not really the tastiest pears I have tasted though. I guess I really favor a Bartlett pear.
Now that things have cooled down somewhat we have been busy as all get out. Had to cut tour prices a bit.  People don't have the money now.
We have been getting things ready to set up and sell as soon as it cools down on the desert a bit more. Got a lot of grab bags sewed and now to fill them.  At a buck a piece they are consistent sellers.
Tired.  Gonna read a bit then hit the hay.
