As far as I can tell, there is exactly one Bloom on the persimmon tree this year, which means our crop of persimmons will be 1/3 as much as last year 😄
Not sure why this tree stopped blooming, it used to be full of fruit

Our neighbor's small cherry trees bloomed later than others in the area. This little ant seems to be enjoying the blooms

'Alright lads, any fish?'
'Yup'
'Seals?'
'No seals'
'OK thanks, see you later'

'YOU'RE WITH US, KEITH'

Please do not. . .
