Pruning and figging

A couple of large branches of the fig tree behind Mom & Dad's house were hanging over onto the roof.  So, my brother climbed up there and sawed them off.  He surprised us by brining in a huge basket of figs off the tree!  I went out there, too, and helped him gather some more to fill a pot, and I started cooking them to make fig preserves!  Fig preserves are one of my favorite things.  I remember when my Aunt Carrie (one of Mom's sisters) used to make them a lot when I was a child.  I strive to make them as good as she did.
