springtime!


already in the last days of february we saw the first signs of activity from our old plum tree but it is really only in the last week that he has started to put on a real show


















it is actually not our favourite tree by all means but he has survived a number of attacks from neighbours, husbands and children alike by now










rike can frequently be found in the highest branches because it is a wonderful observation post for the street and she also quite happily eats the funny little plums from early april onwards, i.e. when small and green









but it is in the summer when the local youngsters take over and we are having plum throwing fights for weeks and weeks














so we better put up a watchdog soon... look closer and you'll see who is in charge of the whole operation...
