I arrived home from work Tuesday evening to find treasure. Look!
Friends were harvesting figs from the tree in their yard. While I was at work they called Hubby and told him to come and get some. Yippee!
Fresh figs are a recent discovery for me. I'd had them dried before, but never had the chance to try fresh figs until a couple of years ago. Sooooo good. As their season is short, and as they can be rather pricey out of season, they are a rare treat. Arriving home to find more than a dozen on our counter practically made me giddy. I've had more figs this week than I've had in a year. And there's still a few left. We're lucky and grateful to have such generous friends. So, if our figgy friends are reading this, thanks!

Hi, Laurie - long time!
ReplyDeleteI had fresh figs off a friend's tree in France, warm from the sun and so delicious. I saw one on a tree here where I walk near the university, and I planned to grab it when it got a little bigger. Someone else beat me to it! Now I'm eyeing the littler ones that are almost ready.
Hi Val! I has been a long time. It's good to be back, and it's good to see you back too!
DeleteFresh figs in France. Sounds so...dreamy...sophisticated...What word am I looking for? Je ne sais quoi...
Thanks for stopping by Val! Good luck with your fig-scrumping.
