The Apricot Tree

Oh hi there.

Remember this?

Soon it will be covered in little apricots, and then soon enough we’ll have more than we can eat. 

Soon enough.  In summer.

And this?

This is the almond tree.

There’s nothing quite like a freshly picked almond.

Or apple.

blog 11

Or passionfruit.

blog 16

Or grape.

blog 14

Or plum.

blog 9

Or orange.

blog 10

Or strawberry.

blog 7

Or mandarin.

blog 8

Or nectarine.

blog 6

Or peach.

blog 13

Or berry.

blog 17

Or avocado.

blog 15

Or walnut.

blog 12

Though to be fair, the avocado and walnut have a LOT of growing to do.  I have to wait a few years for that.

I am the luckiest person alive to be surrounded by fruit.  All fresh.  All free.

Oh what’s that you say?

What’s behind that fence?

blog 1

Oh nothing much.

blog 2

Just a big hole.

blog 3

Just a really big hole.

That one day soon, will house our new POOL.  Most decidedly NOT free but a very welcome addition to a summer that regularly passes 40C.

I’ll keep you posted.
