Welcome back from vacation! The last of the great summer holidays is upon us. Labor Day weekend, what fun. It's time for a family outing. I see more and more people just enjoying the river beaches and local getaways. This is the time to pack a pacnc basket and don't forget the fresh fruit. The pluots are especially good right now. We have flavor Grenades, Flavor Kings, Flavor Treats, and Flavorich. all are at their peak. Plum varieties ripe are Fortunes, Big Reds, and Emerald Beautys. Most people think that there are less fruit varieties to choose from in the fall. actually we have more to pick from than any other time of the year.

Bust out and picnic this next weekend. Enjoy the remaining days of the season. These are the adventures the family will treasure forever. JIM
