Our yearly harvest



We went for our yearly ride to go and pick plums and pears. The plum and pear trees were heavy with fruit. It was a good year for harvesting. The plums were a beautiful deep purple and they seemed sweeter than ever. Fischer and Claire played in the grass, while plum juice dripped from their chins. Amelia was in the backpack hanging out trying to grab the pears and plums off the trees. Today was the last of the warm days, temperatures in the upper 80's. A cool front is supposed to be coming through tonight. At least then I won't feel so bad about being in the house to can and dry all the fruit.
