Figs hold a special place in my heart. I guess you could call them nostalgic.

Growing up my grandparents had a magnificent fig tree on their property.

Perfectly knotty and twisted. If you've ever seen a fig tree,

then you know that they are full of personality in how each tree grows uniquely.

I have memories of climbing it, counting the ants that lived among it,

finding Easter Eggs hidden in it's secret holes;

and when I got older, and moved into my grandparents home after they passed away,

I remember reading many books under it's branches.

Funny thing is though, I don't ever remember eating any figs from that tree.

I never knew my love for the fruit until a few years ago.

One thing I wish I could go back and do differently...

take advantage of all those delicious figs.
