    Prickly Pears!

    Hi, all! I hope everyone is managing to stay healthy and sane through the crazy weather the entire country seems to be having. My question is, what happened to summer? Here in New York, summer used to begin in May. I remember having classes in high school out on the campus (yes, my high school in Brooklyn actually had a campus) because it was too hot in the classrooms. Now, we’re lucky if summer begins by July! Global warming, people. It really bites.

    This week, I want to talk about prickly pears. Why? Cuz I feel like it.prickly-pear
