Yesterday started out as a very pretty day. I'm glad I took my phone out on my walk with 'Tasha early in the morning, because by about 11 o'clock it had started raining. It was a fine, steady rain that lasted for about 10 hours, I think.
On Friday, Walt got the riding mower going again. He wrote about it on his blog yesterday. By Friday afternoon, he had mowed the whole yard. That was a good thing, since rain is predicted off and on all week. The grass might have been knee high by next Saturday if it hadn't had that last-minute mowing.
When we go out our back gate and turn right, this is what we see. The trees downhill from our yard are impressive. One strip of land out there is planted in fruit trees, including plums, quince, and apples. The people who have owned that strip for about five years now live in Brittany, and they haven't come to Saint-Aignan for about two years now. They told us years ago to take what fruit we want from their little orchard. The yellow plums from their trees are delicious. Just ask Evelyn...
Here's a picture that shows what my plum tree looks like right now. It's much bigger than it was 11 years ago, which is when I took the picture of it that I posted yesterday. 'Tasha was nice to strike a pretty pose for yesterday's photo.

I can vouch for those yellow plums- they are delicious. It's wonderful that Walt got the grass cut!
