Fruit

Lately my life seems to revolve around fruit.   

We have fruit coming out our ears.  We are making peach salsa, peach candy ( or as Luke my apparently Italian child calls it Peach-a Candy.  It is actually dehydrated peach slices,  but you call it candy and well its so much more fun), Apple rings, peach smoothie packs, frozen tomato buckets for salsa, bottled pears. 

Luke is in heaven... he will walk outside with one apple and then see a "good one" on the tree so he grabs that one,  by the time we come inside he has made his mark on 8 apples and is trying to juggle all of them in is his arms so that he can bring his treasures in.    We find them hidden everywhere in our house.  I put my foot in a quillow (how do you spell that Mel?  -I still use it  love spot for my feet)  and felt a little ball and sure enough it was a tiny apple.  Bryan has found on in his closet.   Luke loves having fruit trees.   His body hasn't quite adjusted to the mass amounts of fruit and so well lets just say our diaper budget has gone up. 

It is fun fun fun,  but a bit exhausting having our own little orchard.

Mixed feelings about this... jealous about all the fruit, but so glad I don't have all that work on top of everything else going on...

How fun to have some fruit trees of your own! Luke is so darling, I love hearing about your family.
