Jam!

Let's get the obligatory shot of Emma out of the way.

On her way to the land of Nod. That's what made the rest of this post possible.

 We plundered the neighbor's apricot tree the other night. The thing was plum loaded with them. The small dent we made in the tree turned into 24 8 oz jars and two quarts of jam and a cobbler. Coming to your local stocking in a few months...

Trade you a clean stove for a jar of jam.

And an obligatory picture of the other child. There's not a crumb or drip or drop to be seen on that floor. Seriously Scout. You already got them all.

On a side note: plums in our tree! It didn't produce last year so we weren't sure what variety of leafy foliage we were babysitting. Now that we know it will actually produce fruit we really ought to do a better job of babysitting!
