Smokey and Persimmons

I spent a few minutes of quality time with Smokey, in the garden this morning. He was following me around...

This is my Redbud tree. I am guarding it.

All our Persimmon trees have a monster crop of fruit this year. I am not sure if they are edible or not; at least, I have never seen our trees produce orange coloured fruit, only green ones like this that fall to the ground sooner than you expect.

Smokey is investigating around the end of the Persimmon... it is bowed over with the weight of all the fruit.

What's that?

I'm just going to sit here and play with the long grass.
