It was my ex-wife’s birthday yesterday. The last time I saw
her she was 29. She’ll be a lot older now and sometimes I amuse myself
wondering what she looks like. It doesn’t take long for me to stop being
amused.
We think of wasps as buzzing little pests intent on annoying us and looking for an excuse to sting, don’t we? This year I’ve seen several drinking sedately from the birds’ water bowl. My attitude to wasps has changed accordingly.
I just read an old comment string from the lovely Zoe of Pennsylvania/NY. It was dated 8/1/2011 (or 1/8/2011 if you must insist on being American.) I thought ‘7 years later…’
My pear tree has been in my garden for nineteen summers and has never fruited. I learned that it was because, unlike apple and plum trees, pears are not self-pollinating. Today I discovered a pear growing on the tree, so either somebody else locally has now got a pear in their garden, or it’s a rare example of Immaculate Conception.
