Plum Picker

We have this tree in our backyard that is loaded with fruit... small red plums. Melissa wasn't content to stay on the ground and help me pick the plums today, she wanted a part of the action and climbed up the ladder with me. She certainly doesn't have any fear of height!

One branch of many very weighed down branches.

Sitting way up high on the ladder...

and hanging on (like Mommy said!)

Picking the close plums.

Evening out the buckets (more like dumping them out!)

This is only about 1/3 of the plums we have picked so far, and there is an abundance of plums left in the tree.

My very strong, big helper!


PS... anyone want some plums? Let me know!!!
