Today, lying in my hammock I spotted a plum on one of my two potted plum trees.
Last spring I had one tree covered in blossom and the other with not one flower, so no chance of cross fertilisation.
This year both trees were in full flower just as the late frosts hit. The blossom seemed to survive but I thought there had been no insects to pollinate the flowers. But there was one!
I usually only eat plums cooked (by someone else) but this one will have to be eaten raw. I hope I will recognise the right moment for the ceremonial picking!
And yesterday morning beside the pond was a little frog. I didn't see any frog spawn but there must have been some.
So a runny nose and a cough that won't go away don't seem so bad when I have a plum and a frog,
