Mom found this Fuji apple on the ground, it's still green. I used it to make Fig/Apple Jam, yum!

I love how creative you are with your produce photos! A pile of beautiful, homegrown goodness would be enough, but shaped like monsters, houses, faces?! Even better.

And, I was distracted from the glorious produce by this: You have a size 5.5 foot!!! My sister has a 7 and I always thought that was small! My other sister has a size 11! That is like both your feet put together! Nutty.

I am easily distracted apparently.

As always a feast for the eyes.

Thanks BLD! I get bored just arranging them sometimes and the playfulness kicks in. It's more fun to play with your food! ;-). LOL about the foot! I'm 5' tall so having feet any bigger than that will make me look like a duck! hehehe. It's hard finding shoes that fit sometimes...esp at discount stores (I'm cheap!)

Thanks Pelenaka, hope all is well!
