I always forget until summer time how much I love fresh fruit right of the tree. (I have just added Fresh Fruit right off the tree to MY FAVORITES) I remember being a child and visiting my grandmother in San Jose and picking those fresh apricots right of the tree and eating them before I even washed them off. I always knew our summer trip to visit Nana would bring me to her stocked up apricot tree. She always encouraged me to bake and so I often made many apricot pies while we visited. Well, wouldn't you know it...when my mom moved to San Diego, the home she bought had an apricot tree in the back yard. These past couple of weeks have been heavenly for me and the kids because I have now shown them how to raid the apricot tree. They are so excited to go to Nana's House to pick the fruit off the tree. There is just nothing better than a warm piece of fruit right of the tree. I am so happy that my kids are now going to have fond memories of Nana's Apricot Tree, just as I did when I was a kid.
We also have to mention that Papa Bergeron has several fruit trees at his house that we also like to raid! The kids had so much fun picking Papa's Fresh Poppies yesterday. Joshua used to call Papa's Peaches Poppies so we still call them that. They also got to pick fresh plums off the tree. Papa has an apricot tree, but it didn't produce this year. So watch out...next year the crop will be plentiful! We cannot wait to RAID Papa's trees! Thank you to Papa Bergeron and Nana for letting us invade your trees!

My grandpa had plum and apricot trees in his backyard too! Not only does it taste so good, I loved the smell of the fruit tree's. Good memories.
