Now, what to do with all this fruit! We dried a lot of it, made some jam and froze the rest to make juice shakes all winter long!

The joys of July
We were lucky enough to go pick some apricots from one of Spencer's moms friend. Her house was torn down by the city to make room for some office buildings, very sad! All that is left standing is a few fruit trees. We were so excited to fill our buckets. We had been watching them for a few weeks waiting for them to ripen, but couldn't wait any longer. I had some great helpers!

Be careful! You know what grandma always cautioned about apricots! :). I will save the readers of your blog from the actual caution, but I know that you're hearing it in your head right now!
