Good Food and Fruit!

Last Saturday, we had a wonderful surprise.  Our upstairs neighbors that have two small children, said they wanted to bring us dinner.  They couldn't stay and eat with us because they had a family party, but they brought the meal down to us steaming hot!  It was wonderful-see the pictures below.  The nice thing is they left us some trays.  So a couple days later, Nathan took their trays back to them filled with fruit from our yard.

Yummy dinner (I should have taken a picture before we ate!)

Everyone in their pajamas because it was late!
Now, this is a whole new story.  We knew when we moved in that the house had grapevines, peaches, lemons, figs, pomegranates, plums and apricots.  However, we had no idea how many-especially the grapes.  I am extremely disappointed I didn't take a picture of the HUGE tub of grapes that Nathan, Brad and the kids picked.  And we still have some on the vine-we have frozen grapes, grape jelly, and grape juice.  We have also had fresh peaches, peach cobbler and fresh figs.  It sure is a blessing, but it is definitely hard work.
Peaches
I forgot apples!

Olives (mainly for olive oil)
Figs



Lots and lots and lots of grapes (green and purple)
