Where the Green Grass Grows

We have a few trees left in our yard after the massive Tree Reduction of 2006. We have a cherry tree that finally gave us edible cherries this year, a massive supertree of an unknown genus. This massive superstructure gives grand shade, yet drops lots of sticky things throughout the summer. This is tolerable for the most part, but we have a new little friend. Well, he's not new, but the Fruitless Plum Tree has fruit on it. The tree we were told was fruitless and wouldn't be able to grow anything but leaves, has a couple little plums on it. So, it would seem that our little fruitless tree, isn't so fruitless. It's amazing, we can't keep hardly anything alive, but the tree that can't grow plums suddenly can. Makes me feel that anything is possible, especially with my newly green thumb.

So below is the pic of our ginormous tree, and the infamous fountain in the middle there. I was trying to get a picture of the sun through the smoke from the over 3,000 wildfires in California. You can't really see the smoke, but because of this red sky last night, the sailors were delighted. So that's something.


Maybe if you're lucky, next time I'll post our Scrabble board from our second game ever, I know you can't wait for that one.
