Strange Fruit

This is a very quick blip today, between pickleball and arrival of more guests -- a college friend of Cynthia's and her partner.

The red thing that looks like a soccer ball is the fruit of our pink dogwood, the tree that gave us dozens of beautiful blossoms for several months -- not long after we planted it.

I wish the tree had as many fruits as there were blossoms -- I counted only half a dozen.
