This Is Our Fig Tree


This is our fig tree. 

It's pretty massive, and the amount of figs that are produced from it is completely incredible. 
It's going to be the best climbing tree when the kids get old enough. 
It's going to be a great spot to climb up into with a good book. 
It's the perfect place to hang a hammock for breezy summer days. 

Until then, we make Jam. 
By "we" I mean my parents. 
I guess I can say, truthfully, we eat jam. 
Wait. 
K doesn't eat it. 
Ok, then. 
I eat jam that my parents make. 
But it's my fig tree. 
Ok... 
It's our fig tree. 
And we share. 






Lookin' for daddy way up in the tree



Fresh picked

Juicy bite

We collected 3 grocery bags full of ripe, ready to eat figs

Not quite ready to climb


Isn't it amazing? 
These figs come right from the earth. 
I didn't do a thing to help them along. 
They just show up and taste delicious. 
I'm grateful.

Until Next Time, 
The Guff
