The time where I go to different places and take fruit off of trees that don't belong to me. There are two different ways of getting fruit, morally and immorally.
Morally: Conveniently finding a black berry bush behind an abandoned building. Have friends who have parents with giant apricots, and have so many they are using them as ammunition in epic apricot fights. Having friends with cherry trees in their yard. On campus is TOTALLY free game. If the branches are hanging over the side walk ALSO free game, and alley ways.
Immorally:
Dressing all in black and in the middle of the night stealing the coveted elephant heart plum from your neighbors yard, they're too busy to notice that the plums are ready and YOU WANT THEM. Noticing that Cook's greenhouse is selling their strawberry starts 2 for one and also noticing the strawberries are ripe. "Helping" Cook's by eating the ripe strawberries without buying the plants and embarrassing the friends that came with you.
I'm happy to tell you that I morally got enough cherries for a yummy cherry pie which I will share with friends later today. Look out Rob, I'm bringing a ladder next time!
And I'm one of those friends, right?
ReplyDeleteNext time you're going gleaning, please let me and Kirsten know. We'd love to help out, if you know what I mean.
LOL love it! I have totally gleaned trees before too. Jarrod told me that he saw a cop pull over the other day on a really busy street in Sacramento to yell at a guy for picking fruit off a tree that was hanging over onto the sidewalk. I'm pretty sure there are more important things to deal with in the city of Sacramento :-p
