The Cherry Tree

We have a cherry tree in the front garden.

I was quite looking forward to harvesting some cherries, but I hadn’t reckoned on the local starling population. Now that the cherries are ripe, they have descended en masse onto the tree and are proceeding to strip it bare.

    Didn’t know sparrows cared for baked cherries.  Hope you’re staying cool; it’s roasted leeks down here!

    Today the weather seems to be cooling off from the 30+ temperatures we’ve been enjoying(?). Good thing too, the garden was beginning to suffer as well as us. And the dog doesn’t like the heat one little bit.
