Friday Fruits
Happy Friday!
Happy Friday everybody! I just wanted to share a few pics of my freshly picked nectarines today. That gorgeous color on these fruits – oh my! Nature always amazes me with how beautiful she is.
I thought I could wait for the nectarines to ripen just a little more before I picked them all, but alas the squirrels and birds are already getting to them so I decided to pick them early and let them ripen indoors. It took just two days for all these nectarines to get nice and juicy. I didn’t get a big bounty this year, what you see is it. Also, the fruit is more on the sour side. I might make jam with them, but in the meantime I am enjoying their beauty in the basket.
Have a great weekend!
