What the late freeze we had in the spring didn't do to our pear trees, the squirrels finished off! We didn't get even one pear from our pear trees this year! But alas, all is not lost in the 'pear' department as a friend in the community asked my hubby if we wanted any pears, his trees were full. Of course hubby said yes so, off we went with buckets in hand. We picked up pears that were still good on the ground that had fallen from the trees and then we picked from the trees.
