Here I go again. Got the bucket of pears canned! I absentmindedly bought two pears at Safeway for about a dollar. Had to choke them down just because I spent the money. I went down to the basement to check on the pears Harry and Saundra had picked at her family's place in Oklahoma and thought "It's now or never" The skins were unappetizingly brown speckled but the fruit, still intact, was crisp and juicy. Tomarrow I will get the apples in the freezer, some chopped and some as Best-Ever-Apple Crisps.
