Just because you’re home from school sick with a cold doesn’t mean you get a day off from using your brain. Yesterday Asher spent a little time recuperating in the warm sun & fresh air, devising a solution for harvesting Asian pears from our fully loaded tree. By taking apart the pieces of one of his recent works of art (a raft which never saw water), he came up with this fabulous chute for rolling the pears out of the tree and into a basket waiting on the ground below.
Unfortunately, limited resources made his design incredibly heavy and it began to break apart when we tried to maneuver it into place under the tree. Sadly, no Asian pears ever rolled down that chute. Today the wood is being “repurposed” into a bobsled : )
Here’s a shot of some of his bounty, harvested by old-fashioned means– shaking the tree : )
