Our pear tree out-did itself this year.
It is tall and skinny and close to thirty years old.
Her limbs are hanging low. One limb has already broken off this year,
I am afraid more will break.
A lot of the pears are still small and most of the largest pears are out of reach,
so we got out our 12 foot ladder and climbed up, up, up after the big ones.
We worked as a team.
The person on the ladder threw them down and the one on the ground caught them in a fish net to keep them from bruising.

We picked quite a bit. In addition to filling Mom's old pan, we filled two large baskets.
What will you be doing this week?
I guess we will be canning pears.
