Calamondin season! A harbinger of summer, our calamondin supplies a reliably heavy crop of these tart, round citrus fruits that are so good in salsas and iced drinks. The heat defines our desert, and here it comes. Stay cool everyone!

Farraday Newsome will be showing Day in the upcoming 23rd San Angelo Ceramic National. This juried exhibition occurs every two years and is open to artists from the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
This year’s juror was Jo Lauria, a Los Angeles-based curator, writer and educator. A former curator at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Lauria is a specialist in the fields of design, craft, and the decorative arts with particular emphasis on modern and contemporary studio ceramics. She is the organizer of several national touring exhibitions as well as author of numerous publications: biographies that chart the lives and work of contemporary designers and craft artists; and survey books that chronicle major movements in the field. Most recently she received the American Ceramic Circle Book Award for Ralph Bacerra: Exquisite Beauty. Currently she is a contributing writer to Ornament Magazine, Mentor Faculty of Otis College of Art and Design, and Adjunct Curator of the American Museum of Ceramic Art (California). https://www.jolauria.com

We are enamored with our pretty calamondin shrub, also known as Philippine lime or calamansi (x Citrofortunella microcarpa). A hybrid native to the Philippines, southern China, Taiwan, Borneo, and Sulawesi, it produces a profusion of tart, ping-pong ball sized citrus. The entire fruit is edible, but each has a significant number of seeds. Lately we’ve been chopping them, peel and all (after first de-seeding), and including them in black bean, sweet potato, and red cabbage burritos. Such a different flavor than the usual Sonoran taste! The combo makes us think of the Caribbean or southeast Asia. The large, cold hardy shrub is a reliable producer of the small fruits every May, making it a late-season citrus here in the desert.
We see many of these compact, side-entrance verdin nests tucked into the forked branches of our palo verde trees. They are often constructed on the north side of the tree, giving the nest a little shade. The verdin, a Sonoran Desert native, is a diminutive bird that eats insects, spiders, native fruits, and a little nectar.
