Apricots, oh my! When I was in the sixth grade the cafeteria workers
had put out large serving trays of dried apricots on each of the tables.
A friend and I decided it would be a cool trick to put salt all over
the apricots. Little did we know that eagle-eyed Sister Emerentia was
watching us as we exercised the salt shakers. Ah, yes. With Sister
Emerentia there was always a suitable punishment for misdeeds. Our
punishment was to eat the entire tray of salted apricots and she stood
there and watched as we ate each one.
I do eat apricots today but it took a long time to get over that. As it
should have for we surely deserved it. :-)

Just to balance the snowy images from Tina, here's one which gives a
hint of the hot drought we are going through. (See the lawn? grass).
Here are my last bottling of apricots for the year; just over 8 kg
fruit ($36 at an orchard), stoned, yielded 12 one-litre jars.

So now I have 30
such jars for the rest of the year.
