FIGS EVERYWHRE
I can remember many years ago, on cool summer mornings, my Mom would get my brothers & I up to pick figs at Miss TaLa's house. It was VERY early. The sun was barely up and the dew was heavy on the trees. My brothers and I would climb high (the trees were old and not very high but they were very wide) on the ladders to get as many of those wonderful figs as we could. I probably ate as many while picking as we brought home. The downside to that were the fig sores that came along with the figs. It was not a deterrent for any of us.
Mom would cook the figs down that same day. Now I'm not a fan of whole cooked figs but I loved the "fig candy" that formed around the side of the pot as they cooked. That was always reserved for me and only me. If the truth be told, I pestered Mom the entire time they were cooking until she'd give that deliciousness to me. She always mashed some of the cooked figs for me (she knew I didn't like whole cooked ones). There is nothing better than a hot homemade biscuit with mashed up figs and butter on it. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
Ok, enough of that. This morning Jimmy & Flo Broussard called to ask if we want three, yes three, GALLONS of fresh figs. My car couldn't get there fast enough. Alex, Eli and I have been eating them since we got home. What a wonderful treat & wonderful memories they conjured up.
THANKS, JIMMY & FLO!!!

Hot Afternoon On the Farm
The boys went for a dip in the pond this afternoon. Look what they came up with to use as a slide. They're going to have webbed feet before the summer's over. So glad they're getting to grow up in the country. BUT we sure miss having them close to us.

Gabe and Eli
Gabe, Alex and Eli were playing in Roger's new poolside chair the girls and their families gave him for Father's Day. It was a perfect opportunity to take a couple of shots of them while they played. Gabe and Eli cooperated---Alex didn't.
