Hi !

It looks like ya'll had a lot of fun. That is such a nice, clean looking fig farm.

When I read "one was all-you-can eat for forty-minutes".... it made me laugh ! I never heard of such a thing. I think I would have chosen the option you did though.

When I read that you said you got 9 or 10 figs, I thought "that does not sound like many", but then I saw your baskets and realized those figs are much bigger than the ones I am familiar with here. My Mom has some fig bushes in her yard and some years they have so many figs that she gives as many away as possible.

I did not grow up around figs, even though it seems some kinds grow well here. My Mom remarried after my father passed years ago and my stepdad loved the figs. That is why they planted them. He grew up in a very financially poor family and when they were children, sweet figs were a wonderful treat to them. He was a hard worker and did very well in his adult life, but the childhood memories kept his love for figs strong.

I did know that figgy pudding was a real pudding, but I had never seen or heard of it locally. It didn't sound good to me ! ha ha... but I bet it is.

I like your plated fruit art. 😊
