Plum tuckered out!

Over the long holiday weekend I finally got all the yellow plums off my tree!
So to recap.. I made a few different varieties of plum jam, put some plums in the freezer, made a little plum liquor and processed several large jars of plum juice. And I did have several friends come by given the offer to take as many plums as possible off my tree. This last pull was over-ripe and was dropped in a wild area where bears are known to hang out. 
This tree will get a good hair cut over the winter....

I tried a level one trickle charge to the new Leaf..... Sorry for the sideways picture.. It happened when I added the licence plate blob.
.... Anyhow, things are looking good in the backyard.
Well they were ...until I picked a few more figs. Fig trees are very disorganized and it's hard for me to reach all the figs. I had been in the habit of grabbing the trunk and pulling down one of the branches to reach a ripe fig... Only today I somehow managed to snap off a branch. Very sad... I am sorry tree.

Next up will be the hazelnuts and apples...
I only have two Italian plums on my three trees. That's right two!

Today floor guy was back at it in the bathroom...
Here is the shower base pre installation.
This other piece will connect on the shower floor....
More patchwork... Taping in the bathtub area.
Still a little more work to be done in here...

Did I tell you that my contractor has given me a move in date.... It is hard to believe at the rate things have been going... But I guess the pace will pick up sometime soon as I shall move in to my new house in the last week of August. I have indeed given my notice in the cottage by the sea and there will be a rental showing tomorrow!  Hhmmmmmm.....
