pears....

well, here we are again with our pear tree......you all have heard me mention this tree before & again.....but, we aren't charging this year & we are overwhelmed with pears....we've had at least 3 people knock on the door for permission to pick....i could care less, take them all!....but it is nice they asked....i don't care for pears, kinda ironic right?! though i don't eat them i do enjoy picking them & sharing them with others....which is exactly what we did today....after a great morning at church (finally after a month away!) and lunch at full moon, we got to picking! i am taking these to work in the morning to share....i have been told that they are great for preserving, making pies/tarts & cooking with....i'll take their word for it :)
