We arrived at noon on Sunday and the weather was wonderful. We saw that the apricot trees were loaded and ripe so why not get the job of canning over with at the beginning of the week. Monday morning we picked and canned and then took the rest of the week off.
Busylizzy in the pits.
Nathan showing us how many apricots there were, just on one branch. We have three or four trees of them and we did not even put a dent in the abundant crop.
These little Damsun plumbs were not quite ripe but there is a tree of Italian Prune plums that were just coming into their own. They are so big and juicy you can only eat a few an you are full, especially after eating a half dozen of those tree ripened Apricots. Having four washrooms on the property is a bonus.

Mother and son paddling on the surf board. Liam had no fear of going out on the water.
We had 30 to 35 degree weather all week with only a bit of smoke in the air on one or two days. It was a bit too warm in the evenings, when it is nice to cool down a bit, but otherwise, a tolerable situation.
More tomorrow.

I just love the fresh fruit at the cabin there in Oroville!
