Too much a of a good thing. So many plums on the tree, the heavy boughs are starting to break off. And the tree is so tall, there's not really anything we can do about it.
I shook the lower green ones off to relieve some weight on the branches, but many hundreds are out of reach. They will eventually rot and fall on the sidewalk. What mess. The poor tree needs a good pruning this winter, that's for sure.
The weekend was overcast and humid, but unfortunately the "monsoon" clouds brought little rain. But I'm listening to the birds in the yard this morning, all excited this from just a little moisture.
Our air quality is still good, but there's a new fire burning in the North Cascades National Park that is very concerning. It is near Ross Lake, and they've closed the Highway 20 route across the mountains. It's smoky once again in eastern and central Washington. So far, this fire season was just too good to be true.
