That beautiful and fruitful pear tree seems to be on a never ending spree of production. We have put up enough pear butter to see us through the next year, and still this little tree that is now devoid of leaves thanks to the grasshoppers keeps on going with the pears.
Well... mostly. All except one side where the donkeys and goats can reach over the fence has pears. That side is now as devoid of pears as the entire tree is of leaves, thanks to the diligent efforts of our livestock! They have done quite a number on the fence itself too, to get to the deliciously tart little pears just a tad too far away.
It's ok - we needed to reset that post anyway, right? :-) As for the rest of the pears... we have a friend who is a chef. He's asked for some. I think he'll get plenty!
That is quite a pear tree you have. And you had to fix a post and you smiled about it. You certainly deserved your book and day off, I hope you enjoyed it.
