Today is rather dreary. The sky is overcast and it's a little chilly out but my own feelings do not resemble the weather. Last night I stayed up into the wee hours watching Hocus Pocus and chatting with a dear friend. This morning we went out to brunch and I have hashbrown leftovers. It's hard to top potatoes in my world but my Uncle and I decided to go fruit picking. My dad's property has two varieties of cherry plums, two kinds of apples, pears, plums, blackberries, and raspberries. Today we just went after the cherry plums and some blackberries. Tomorrow we're going to find a ladder and get some of the amazing gravenstein apples and whatever we can reach of the regular sized plums.
I love fresh homegrown food and I'm so happy to have easy access to such a variety of fruit from trees that were planted long before I was ever born and haven't been tended in a good 15 years. Mother nature is pretty freaking cool.

Finally got a real garden going this year. I can't get enough of the tomatoes. I'll never be able to go back to grocery store tomatoes. I'm ruined for life!
