Promise of Pears

The great white Pear tree
Dropped with dew
From leaves and blossom
Under the heavens
Of happy blue. ...Jean Ingelow

We visited the Courtland Pear Fair on Sunday...old fashioned fun!

@ludwigsdiana @hermann @gigiflower @yogiw Many thanks! It was a very fun day and the pear pie was so delicious! We buy it every year...4 1/2 pounds of YUM!

Those look tasty! It sounds funny to me to say "Courtland" Pear fair- isn't Cortland the name of a kind of apple? Fun!!

@olivetreeann The little town of Courtland has multiple orchards of Bartlett Pears along the Sacramento River Delta. So, the name and variety of Pears are Bartlett and also a red Pear.

@olivetreeann Yes, there is a Cortland Apple named and grown in Cortland, New York. :)
