Picking Fruit

When I was little I remember going on hikes and filling up little snack bags we had on hand with wild berries. One memorable walk we filled our frisbee with raspberries, blueberries, and black caps. Another year, my sister and I went to a farm and picked buckets of strawberries.
The last little while I have helped pick pears, apricots, plums, and apples. I really enjoy picking fruit. Tree fruit is fun too because I enjoy climbing trees, negotiating the branches and reaching for the fruit. There is just something simple but fulfilling about picking fruit. Plus it tastes good.
