The apricots are in!

This morning as I was making my coffee, I looked out the window and there they were. Delicious little orange rounds hanging from the tree. I realized at once that the squirrels are quick harvesters and dragged my boyfriend out to the yard so we could beat them to the punch. Last year we missed out on the plum harvest because the squirrels got to them first. I wouldn’t be beat this year. I fully intend to make apricot jam and dehydrate whatever’s left. The plums will be in pretty soon too. I’m gonna be a jamming fool! Of course, I’ve never made jam, but people have been doing it for hundreds of years. How hard can it be?

The apricot harvest!
