Yesterday Tyler and I drove up to Long Beach. On the way back to San Diego, we stopped to see our friend Thure, who is great for a lot of reasons, including the fruit orchard in his backyard!! Grapefruits, apricots, apples, avacados, persimmons, plums, and pears! I was so enamored by these fruit trees because all I've ever really seen in New York is apples and grapes. And now I have a bag of fresh apricots to eat!!
