Plums

My day started with a delightful stroll with my young canine companion. The wind from the west brought a chill to the air. My loyal friend ran and played with a young dog as I meandered along with the young lady.

The burden of employment took me away from the wonderful blue skies. My lunchtime escape took me to the heights of Arthur Seat as I ran with freedom over the grassy slopes. This was my second run after a long break and my legs carried me without a stop, delight.

A lovely evening walk home and on the corner I met these two fruits. To imagine that they started as a flower in the distant spring and have survived to flourish as magnificent forage. It was a day of plums, we had much fun and puns as I had brought such fruits to the team thsi morning.

A quiet house as the children had chosen not to arrive back at the specified time. Eco mum and I sat like the old days alone, catching up and having our dinner.

A lovely evening with friends at the allotment, we foraged berries, clawed at the earth for tatties and harvested herbs.
