Marbles and Fruit

Marbles...Here's a quick video of the twins playing with Nana.


Fruit...I received a fruit-puller as a Christmas present this past year end. It's a long stick with a basket on the end. The basket has a little sponge in the cup so as not to damage fruit.

I got this present from Steph because there is a little tree in our area that grows small tangerine-like fruit, many of which are too high to be reached. If they fall off naturally they usually smash when they hit the concrete walkway. The few that land on the vegetation are hard to find in the monkey grass.

Anyway we decided to put it to use today. Here's a couple of pictures ...

After school today Paige and Graham helped Nana and me to gather some fruit.
Here is a video of the event and all the action.

The fruit picker looks cool and seems to be a good activity with the grandkids.

Can't believe you're in shorts and I'm bundled up trying to stay warm!

I still have some Meyer Lemons in the fridge. We only use them for martinis so they last.
