We're swimming in apricots!

The apricot harvest is in, and, as usual, there are thousands of apricots. Way more than we can actually deal with, but we do our best. Our apricot tree, for those who may not know, is massive. Those who owned our home before we bought it must have just ignored the poor tree, because it is simply much bigger than an apricot ought to be, and is so tall that it is impossible to reach all of the fruit. That's fine, though, because the fruit we can reach is plenty. We have dubbed it "The Giving Tree."

This year J allowed T and H to get on the roof with him to pick apricots, which, of course, thrilled them. Here is a picture of the three of them on the roof:





And showing off just a fraction of our harvest:



And here is a picture of N taken that day, posted just for the sake of gratuitous cuteness:

So... anyone want some apricot jam?
