Oooh me plums!

Last year the branches of the plum trees were so heavy with fruit they were breaking and we had piglets scoffing the windfalls as we tried to gather them This year these two are the ONLY fruits so I have watched them carefully and today judged it right to pick them. Carefully. I then carried them into the kitchen to share. Then, and this often happens, I got distracted and forgot about my plums. Tonight I mentioned them to my beautiful and oh so patient wife and questioned their whereabouts. She did not know, but had found two plum stones on the kitchen floor. Probably a Berner ( the one who got taken to the vet today, see dog blog)who counter surfs and is partial to soft fruits.
Ah well, next year is not far away.
