Sunday sun and showers – treats and sadness

Sunday early morning walk/jog along Mill Road
One of our dead trees came down overnight and onto the road

J towed it onto the verge and out of the way of unsuspecting cars

We cut ivy from the trunk of the dead tree, piled it into wheelbarrows and gave it to the goats

The cosmos flowers attract bees a-plenty

The okra is growing fast
And the red cabbages are hearting up
These are seed pods on the potato plants
Plenty more grapes to harvest
And the almonds will soon be ripe
The sadness is that the call duck died today, surrounded by his friends. He was probably more than 7 years old. He had a good life but went lame and was unable to walk. In spite of our best efforts he did not recover and had a peaceful end.
