Now I'm remembering a large apricot tree in the midst of an avocado orchard at a house my parents once rented when I was young. I'd gladly trade the avocado tree in my garden for an apricot! <br /><br />Hope you go back to that orchard and show us what it looks like later!Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-89871170506505046732010-02-07T23:12:10.797+02:002010-02-07T23:12:10.797+02:00Nice one, Robin.
