Plum


Our plum tree is covered in pretty white blossoms. So in love. We didn't notice the flowers last spring. I'm so glad we did this year. Last summer I lovingly watered the plum tree every day, touching the plums, patiently waiting for them to ripen. One day, at the end of summer, I went out to the tree and all of the plums had been picked. Our landlord had come over and taken every. single. one. I might have cried a little. We won't be here at the end of this summer. I will still water the tree every day, hoping someone comes again and takes them.
