Old tree down :(

An old damson tree ( Prunus domestica ) has for many many years grown on our plot's border. Like an old person it started to change shape a bit and became more and more bent and when it started to tilt more and more dangerously towards our well I tried to support it but it was all in vane. When the storm Simone came it went down and will now have to rest like this until I can chop it up next year. Its wood is reddish and might be useful as material for some sort of wood work. It is still sad and I will miss it dearly.


One bright spot in an otherwise rather dull garden was this little flower but if you look carefully you can actually see something looking like a tear drop !
