A block from our house an elderly couple has an orchard of apricots, apples and pears. They put a sign out along the road whenever something comes ripe for free whatever is ready. The last thing that was ripe was pears, so the kids and I walked over and picked a basket full of them. They have one of the long pickin sticks that they just leave out with the trees and Garrett just has a ball pulling the fruit down... sometimes more than I want! I was quite disappointed when the pictures of Garrett wielding this didn't turn out... darn camera... time for a new one, but here are some of the pears that we picked.
This bunch made a tasty batch of pear butter.
