We picked the pear tree with some help from Callum, Ari, and Despina....LOTS and LOTS of pears to process!!! We're guessing 450-500 lbs! We have Nana and Pop to thank for planting the two pear trees years ago! We've already canned 23 quarts of regular pears and there's more to do! We'll also make some pear-sauce for Carter, maybe some pear preserves, and Ari and Despina are going to help us with pear wine :)
Figs! They aren't ready just yet...still need to get a little bigger and ripe. Then we'll have to figure out some different fig recipes!...and of course fig preserves!
The egg in the middle back is a double yoker! We get one almost every week!! This week our 27 chick are scheduled to arrive! In the spring we'll have white eggs too!

Granny and Carter got to hang out a lot in the past couple weeks when we were visiting and making applesauce. Altogether Granny canned over 90 quarts of applesauce from their two apple trees!!
