Are these fruit of my merry boyhood in San Marino, kumquats? Or should I know better. What is the provenance of this blissfully hilarious (unless not) sign? Why are there these elements of such a romp in this marvelously ambiguous posting, and where do I go to have one done like this for my own little wall at home?
kumquats they are indeed laurent. i'm sure you remember the sound of them falling at night... one must pick them before the birds discover them, and once the birds do, so also do the bees. B
Yes I had the sense they were not quite what I thought they were - and knew they were not, if they were associated with these petals - but the distinction is a fine one and the resemblance is seductive. It has a lot to do with how one reads the sign, I gather.
hmmm.... having a blue day.. I do like that sign though. I am having a sick day- bad cold... it too will pass.

ReplyDeleteThe difference is in looking at the leaves - which is how I remember.
