#ThreeGoodThings #3GoodThings

1. The #applejuice (actually a medley -- there are some #pears, #plums, maybe a little bit of banana pepper in it) has not gone off and there is still time to can it for later use, will get more jars tomorrow. 2 gallons. We did not have that many #apples but the neighborhood provides by dropping fruit at my feet as I ramble along the sidewalks with my two sticks. The juicer died so I blended everything and let the pomace drain through a screen basket. It's nice stuff. I pre-wash the sticky utensils with the hose over a bin and the #pomace and the wash water go to garden beds and trees.

Along with many #horticultural, #orcharding and #farming terms, Mastodon's speller does not seem to know "pomace." But it knows more of them than most of the competition. It is forgiven.

2. The last #potatoes are lifted. We were to hit 94F today, so I hurried a little. There may be orphans. These were a batch that sprouted after a family member bought them -- Pontiacs. I was out of garden beds and planted them close along the paver pathway down the middle of the caged (deer proof) garden. Deer don't bother them but there being no space elsewhere, in they went rather late. Did not do badly at all.

3. While walking, I passed a young girl who had just fished a book out of a free pile beneath a catalpa tree and was reading it already as she went by. I stopped at the same pile and came away with a pretty mug whose handle fits my fingers just right, and does not burn my lips with hot tea, just I hoped.

My tree usually gives about three bushels of pears. I give away a lot. As well as just eating them, I make pear juice, dehydrate pear slices for snacks, and freeze small servings of pear sauce for use instead of applesauce in recipes and as a condiment with pork dishes.

Pears! A smallish pear crop this year, but still plenty for storing away for later.

Last year, I stumbled on the idea of freezing pear slices, and it was a great success.

I’m back at it this year. So far, I’ve processed about 60 pears.

Looks like I am going to have a bumper crop of #pears this year. Anyone have recommendations for things to do with them?

With pear harvest beginning in maybe 3 weeks, it was time to clean up under the trees. A butterfly stopped by to check things out.

I'm picking the #pears in our #garden this week and realising that there is - again - a total absence of #wasps. It was the same two years ago which spooked me so much I wrote a feature about wasps: https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2024/09/a-silent-summer.html Then we had some - but not too many - last summer.

Five pears sit across a luminous field, each one reading a little different in color and shape while cool shadows pull them into a quiet rhythm.

I'm drawn to the theatricality here—ordinary fruit made unexpectedly expressive. Which pear do you gravitate toward?

"Pear Tree," Gustav Klimt, 1903.

Y'all know Klimt.

While we're familiar with the portraits of women from his Golden Period, this is a natural scene from the same period that doesn't get enough attention.

The choice of a square canvas clicks with his involvement with and inspiration by the Vienna Secession. There are bits of gold leaf here and there, and he kept adding to this after he gave it to his muse/model Emilie Flöge, filling in empty spots and adding more leaves and more pears.

It's a lovely late summer/early fall image as well, evocative of those times when trees are heavily laden with fruit.

I like it, because I've always liked pears, and also because my new home is on Bartlett Avenue!

From the Busch–Reisinger Museum, New Haven, CT.

I see more pub quiz questions about varieties of pears than actual pears.

I think pears are a yet to be perfected fruit, which is why there are so many varieties. They taste good, and the taste is reasonably complex, but they have a cliff-edge ripeness curve, the texture is disappointing, and the shape awkward.

No pear would be nicer than an apple that tasted like a pear.

Pears 🍐 have been cherished since ancient Greece! Perfect for fresh eating, poaching, or cider. Try espalier growing—training trees flat against walls for beauty & space-saving. #Gardening #FruitTrees #Espalier #Pears

Let your eye roam Janet Dyer’s "Five Pears."

Late-afternoon light gives the group a quiet rhythm; each pear reads a little different in color and shape, and the long cool shadows pull them into balance.

Would you tuck this into a sunny kitchen or let it anchor a dining nook? Which pear is your favorite?

There might be some pears set, not that the trees are big enough to support them. I might end up letting a few grown and bag them and tie the bags to stakes. Comice and Bosc. They both looks like they have some vigor this year too, lots of new growth pushing out.

I know The Doctor said "never eat pears" but I partook today. Not had pears in ages.
