Springtime fruit

Peaches and apricots, figs, and apples (lined up beside a peach) — all ripe, sweet, aromatic, and flavorful.  I think the same amount of flavor in American apricots and peaches is packed into the fruit here.  The flavors are concentrated in these tiny parcels.  And then there are the figs, bigger than any I have ever seen!  I will eat one of the apples tonight after supper to find out what they is like.  These fruits come from my landlady’s garden three floors below.  She has told me to pick as much as I want, and take lemons too!
