plums

the weather is turning
this morning we picked the
almost last
bit of plums
-
scout is a good early morning companion
she loves fruit as a treat
and 
the bright little orbs
appear to her
to be a bucket of balls
-
she is very attentive
her inspection flawless

message in a bottle


spring arrives and we run in full sprint
preparing and tending
summer has us watching, patient-waiting
fall arrives with a prize
fruit grown 
in 
the bottle
almost complete

almost

large jars of ripe pears
bathing in brandy
infuse for months
monitored
sip after sip after sip

when the time comes
the brandy pours
briefly veiling 
the pear

bottles
corked
-
ready
for night capping
and
mood enhancing
-
hold secrets of the garden
and
whispers of the trees
