It involved me sitting on the porch of our casita, generally with a mojito in hand and Desi hanging out on the hammock, and watching birds come to the big bare tree that stood about thirty meters away as we listened to the babble of the brook that flowed through the garden.

For some fruit trees, however, the time to do any real pruning and cutting back is not that time of year but much earlier or somewhat later.

While that may reduce any fruit production for that year it is r4eckoned to reduce the risk of any infection entering the tree. MORE

I saw a Mute Swan feeding on the fresh, new leaves of a Willow tree overhanging the lake.
