This has started growing around my Ponderosa Lemon tree.
Is it what I think it is?
Regardless what it is, I am going to blame it on the rabbits.

BTW, papaya are considered native to certain areas of southern Florida, and have been since some time before 300 AD. They were brought there by a precursor tribe to the Calusa that were there when the Spaniards first invaded. They are another link in the evidence chain (along with some of the pyramidal mounds in Georgia) for the theory that the southeastern US was colonized by Maya Indians from Yucatan centuries ago.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
