We ate all we could, but we got sick of them after a while. At the time a fresh picked pineapple from the miles of fields behind our house was a dime. So sweet all our guest thought mom had soaked them in sugar water.
My grandparents had a apricot tree in their back yard. One day when they were perfectly ripe my brother went out there and ate a lot of them. Then grandma called us in for dinner. I had to stuff myself to keep her from being mad I had ruined my dinner on apricots.

oh man. a perfectly tree ripened apricot is the best thing on the planet fruit-wise. the perfect window is so short. everything, squirrels, birds are waiting for the perfect timing.
