I love the harvesting fruits fresh from the trees. I spent a summer with my dad in the Okanagan getting in on the harvest season for so many fruits. I have a hard time seeing the fruit not being used and just falling to the ground! If I am not going to use all my fruit I do my best to offer it to others, sharing the abundance of nature. I often do harvesting with my daughter-in-law and it is so much more enjoyable than doing it alone!
Berry picking is another harvest that I find rather contemplative, quietly picking away taking in the different sounds and smells of nature!
Thanks for sharing and enjoy that wonderful bunch of pears - H-m-m maybe try some lettuce pear mint smoothies!

You know I was actually thinking of you and your smoothie as we were picking! That is definitely high on my list to make. :)
I adore berry picking, too, but totally agree it can be such a nice time spent with others. I was actually kind of glad my boyfriend was helping the neighbor otherwise he probably would have done the picking and I might not have enjoyed that experience. If we hadn't come up this weekend a lot of that high fruit might have gone to waste since his parents couldn't easily get to it themselves. Happy to appreciate the bounty!
