way down yonder

 

Even the New York Times is talkin bout pawpaws. They must be having a moment. The pawpaw is the only fruit indigenous to the U.S. It is related to soursop, which I have eaten in Jamaica, and custard apple. I hadn't even thought of pawpaws since I was a kid and used to sing this song, Way Down Yonder in the Pawpaw Patch. I must say, the bit about the boys chasing pretty little Suzy down there gave me a bit of a #metoo moment. But I did enjoy the pawpaw I got from Mary's organic farm. Very sweet.
