We have a bountiful harvest.
Look how pretty our fruit is.
We have two plum trees in the backyard. I was this close to chopping them down last year, but once I figured out that they could contribute to our family they were saved. We went out tonight after dinner and right before bed and picked plums. We only picked ones that had fallen to the ground. And we came in with a bucket full. It was wonderful. There are still hundreds more plums in the trees. Only Ainsley was apprehensive about picking up any of the fruit. So picked up one for her. He gave her one with a stem so she wouldn’t have to touch it. All so she could have her picture taken while holding a plum in her hand. It was truly a riot! I love those kids. We had a lot of fun finding all of the fruit hidden the tall grass. There was probably a hundred more plums that we had already rotted on the ground. I figured I would let Chris mow them under. Chris came home and ate five of them while standing by the sink. If he is still alive in the morning, I’ll let the kids eat one too.
