Just had to share this. We have a huge fig tree here at Rouxbe Central and we cannot keep up with how many…luscious…juicy and SEXY figs there are.

So…we invited a few fig lovers over this morning to pick the crop.

It was a beautiful and extremely hot day…but that didn’t seem to matter. Everyone was out to help.

It was fun to see everyone out there picking their share of figs and then once they got enough,

they then helped others gather their fair share.

Okay, some had to gather more because someones’ Mom stole theirs, but to be fair, she couldn’t help herself. She was just too excited.

This is Tony’s Mom, who’s visiting right now… and this is what she kept saying…in her “oh so cute” Italian accent, “I never see anything so like this in my life…I always remember this day.” If I had offered her a million dollars instead of the figs, I am pretty sure she would have taken the figs hands down.

It’s so fun to see how people react with certain foods. Figs are certainly a soft spot for many people. They really seem to appreciate how fantastic nature can be. It also makes it just that much better that these figs just happened to be right in our very own backyard!

Thanks everyone…enjoy those figs!!!
