We have grapes!

OK, this isn't like last year's discovery of pears. We knew we had grape vines (actually, one big vine). It's just that last year the neighborhood crows ate them all. This year, we have a rambunctious puppy in the yard, and kids that want to go out nearly every hour.
Last night, they were finally large and soft enough for us to eat. They weren't large grapes by any means, and I had a few that were hard, but still, grapes! They had a nice sweet/tart flavor - the kids kept saying "they taste like candy!" These appear to be our only summer fruit in the yard so far - but who knows what we'll find next year.
