Peaches!!!

My neighbors planted fruit trees years ago... more than 10 years I think. This year is the first year they have just gone nuts. There are four or five branches that hang into my yard and just those few branches hold more than I can eat. They also have a cherry tree out front that the squirrels never discovered. (Maybe because of all the little ornaments Gladys hung up in it)




And my poor neighbors moved 4 months ago.

Oh... this is in Denver.

I sent her that photo saying, "Not sure if you want to see this or not." She *was* glad to see them but added to her message.

I've seen a couple of post on NextDoor of neighbors offering up their peaches because they have so many. And my neighbors cherry tree was also much more productive than it's ever been before. And the squirrels never touched them!!!
