The fruitage of the tree...

Here are some of the sweet-tart apples from the back yard.  Yesterday evening I went and picked a bowl of those little plums off the plum tree.  Had to stand on a ladder to do so...
I think the  birds will probably get the rest of the plums as they are to high up for me to reach.  I'm going to check the apricots this morning.  I feel a bit like a farmer, without the "farming".  It's nice.

 Some of the hens from our neighbors hen-house behind the "Hunting Lodge".  These kind neighbors gave us a dozen fresh eggs several weeks ago.  They were beautiful, and delicious, no white eggs, and some of the yolks were a bright orange.

The rooster crows every morning - but is far enough away that it does not really bother us at all.  He is a very good "Master of His House", whenever anyone or anything comes near their coop he herds them all to the back, where you cannot see them.  I had to wait quite a while to get this picture... I think they believed I had gone away before they started peeking out from behind their house.

That's all for today... please don't forget to sign your comments.  I LOVE hearing from you, and would love to know who is sending their comments.  xoxoxo for now.
