Time flies by

And another week gone,   still busy although with different things now,  the strawberries are thankfully having a rest at the moment but the pears are ready to eat.  Pip gets the windfalls,  Monty isn't so fussed but will eat a bit sometimes.  Last year we had over 30 kilos I think,  this year is much easier to cope with - more in the region of 50 or so pears.   Enough to go and pick one when you want.  Not so many that you wonder what on earth to do with them.

The pomegranates have been  in full flower for a couple of weeks and now the fruit is taking shape.  Such a strong vibrant colour,  the leaves are bright yellowy green  and set against the blue sky,   well take a look at these.....

Our mimosa trees have been in bloom too for a week or so,  clouds of pinky-yellow blossom,  the first blooms starting to drop off now but lots and lots of buds so many flowers still to come.  It flowers for most of the summer....

 This tree is in the side garden and I took the picture from the pool area,  looking down towards it,  whereas this other tree is in the front garden and although planted at the same time is not as big yet.  Looking up through the arch you can see it's feathery leaves well against the sky.

Another dog arrived in Montenegro a few weeks ago,  don't know what type - probably a mixed variety,  but she's got big paws!   She's not a stray, but belongs to one of the Paco's.
Another mouth to feed along with the dog and  3 cats that he already has.  Can't count the chickens, rabbits or goats as they are food!

And lastly an early morning worker,  toiling away in his field...we went past at 7.45 and he was already working,  a basket of seeds by his feet.  I wonder what he's planting?
