Fig Pickin'

A fellow homeschooler calls out, "The figs are ripe!"

Eager child reaches for a new experience,

and grabs a handful to share.

"Come explore beneath the fruitful boughs . . .

. . . and remember this forever."

We went to a friend's house today to pick some figs, in between rain storms,

shopping, taking Lady to the Cobb's, grocery store, and getting ready for the homeschool expo tomorrow. I like figs and the kids tried them for maybe the first time. We gathered some in a bucket to bring home to eat later, away from the mosquitos!
