Backyard bounty

I'm between jobs at the moment and it's nice to be able to offer my apple picking services to my neighbor across the street.

Here the picker is leaning against the apple tree. The tree to the right is full of persimmons that should be ripe in a few weeks. I'm invited back to help and partake.


Soon the bench was full...


And I went home with a nice sackful, which I promptly used to make apple compote.
