Apricots galore!

Katie made it back from camp and had a great time. She learned a lot and even learned some new songs. Last Friday after I picked her up we went to my parents house to pick apricots. I know it may be silly to say this but I am so proud of my little apricot tree. I planted it when I was five or six. I wanted to plant a pecan tree but when my grandfather found me trying to plant the shell of the pecan he explained you had to plant the whole nut. No way! Waste a good nut by burying it?? So I decided to plant an apricot tree since the seed in that can't be eaten. It has been replanted 3 different times and moved from NM to TX. Every year it has beautiful blossoms then a late freeze kills it. Not this year...if any of you would like some apricots send me a email.

Ok, we must really think alike. How funny that we both do blogs about picking apricots at our parents' house?!? :)
