Late Summer Pears



After such a long hot summer, I am so very excited to see signs of autumn on the horizon. Beautiful ripe pears are just the beginning of our transition into another gorgeous season. 

Here are a few scenes from the pear orchards early this morning...





Happy pear season to you!

  5. Trina,
    Beautiful pictures and I love Margaret's dress...so sweet. I noticed Del Monte on the harvest box. Does that company grow organic pears in your area? We're in the mountains of western NC and it's hard to find locally grown organic pears here!

  6. HI Denise,
    Yes, there are wonderful organic farms here but this wasn't one of them. I took these on my way into town one morning. We buy/eat only from organic farms.

  13. The mountain view Trian is so beautiful. Do you take your coffee out to the porch and just look at it and breathe in? It is truly a blessing.

    Hope you had a nice visit with your momma

  14. Great pictures!!! My wife and I love a sweet fresh ripe pear also. the property next to ours has 2 pear trees on it. For the last 5 years the property has been vacant, and the owner let us go and harvest the pears!! What a blessing, the trees were planted 50years ago and they are the sweetest pears we have ever eaten. This summer the property sold =( , so our pear "harvest" is no more.... I told the new owners that they have the best pears on their property, and unfortunately they told me they are pulling them out because they are too messy.... at least we got to enjoy them for a few years I will now have to plant my own pear trees! Thanks for sharing your home and your life with all of us!
    Blessings

  20. I think pears are an unappreciated fruit. I absolutely LOVE them! They are in my top 3 favorite fruits and eat myself sick on them this time of year. I've already had 4 this week alone! Yum!

    Enjoy all the wonderfulness that is pear season!

    All my best,
    Karla in CA.

  26. Tina,
    The pumpkins seemed to appear overnight! We are enjoying basil, tomatoes and lots of fresh herbs. Carrots are growing well too.

  29. Your blog is so beautiful! Glad I came over. I grew up with one wonderful pear tree in our backyard in Buenos Aires. I haven't been able to find that very unique variety since then. Lovely pictures!

    These orchards are not ours. We are located in Oregon, in a little town east of Portland.
