A Walk Around Our Yard

Admiring the fruits of our labors.....HA!  Not OUR labors at all...These plants do ALL the work and we CONSUME the fruits.  That is, if we get there before the wild critters!

The Fig Tree (with 6 foot tall  handsome scale model)

Folding a leaf back to reveal where the figs are hiding..

(Yes, Mark's hand has a tattoo of

lightening which he and a friend put on each of their hands

by themselves, way back in their army days!!)

Will we get to these before the birds??

Here's a plum tree.  With helpful scale model :)
That's a blueberry bush on the right.
More on those later...

There are the two plum trees, one in front of the other...

with the fig to the right, blueberry bush to the left...
And the red spot on the right which is the neighbor's truck.
Guess he didn't get the message that a photo shoot was going on!

Here is a beautiful plum on the tree. Yum.

But here are many beautiful plums that have fallen to the ground.

We may not get many to eat this year.

But some little animals WILL !!  Yum for them.

The Two Blueberry bushes...

 ---biggest bush with many berries

                 smaller bush, but with sweeter berries---

and here's what THEY'VE been doing...

Some of them may look edible, but don't be fooled.

They're crunchy as carrots and sour as a pickle.

But OH, will they be tasty in a month!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And then, surprise, surprise, we have a

Pomegranate Tree!

It didn't bloom the first year we were here.

Last year it gave out a few fruits that sure looked like pomegranate on the inside,

 but we just weren't sure if they were edible.

Then I saw the neighbor's father sneak over, grab one and eat it.

He didn't die.

So now we know we have a real Pomegranate Tree...

And this year it is wildly happy blooming and fruiting!!

Stay away neighbor!!

Here it is at the corner of the house, taller than the house!

And here are blooms and fruits...

Thanks for visiting...

Smile whenever you can!!
