Both trees have decided to go nuts this year and the plum tree is giving out more fruit this year than we have ever seen. Even the apple tree has decided to get into the act a bit this year.
John spent much of the day picking off excessive fruuit and cutting out bent limbs.
You can see all the fruit on the ground that he plucked from teh limbs as well as some of the limbs that had to be cut and still the tree has more fruit than we'll be able to keep up with.
And that is just the Peach tree. The Apricot tree had on large limb that had to be lopped off because their was too much fruit and the limb was laying on the ground.
Today was a really warm day in the QC and John decided it was time to put out Buddy's pool again. after it appeared he was having trouble cooling down on his own while John was out mowing the lawn and Buddy was chasing flying bugs.
We didn't get a picture of Buddy in the pool but you can definitely tell he has been there and that he was badly in need of a bath. He jumped in and lay down in the water as soon as John put the hose in the pool.
All the green grass is about dead and the Bermuda grass is just starting come up. The transition is a bit frustrating until the grass is green again.
I wish it was worm enough here to put a swimming pool out. I don't dare to put winter coats away. Every time I do it snows. I hate utah weather.
ReplyDeleteWe'll take some of that yummy fruit! Aiden and Gray were out playing the other day and Aiden came in and told me they were picking all the weird green things off the trees...NOOOOOO!!!
ReplyDeleteKind of reminds you of Dad's pickles getting yoinked from his Navel Orange tree. That dang tree never put out another "pickle" again after that.
