Peach thief

I was admiring my next-door neighbors' peach tree this morning, bursting with ripe heavy fruit. The tree is just outside my bedroom window, one of the first things I noticed when I moved in last summer - a treat to have a yard with trees next door rather than another house in this relatively densely packed suburb. It almost guarantees a bit of quiet for my sleeping quarters, save for the birds.

After a couple of hot and humid days, this morning is cool and fresh, so I could open the blinds and windows. And thus, admire my neighbors' tree, now lush with peaches. Then I saw another admirer running off with a ripe peach. Well, I suppose the neighbors couldn't possibly eat them all themselves.

Ha! They definitely are thieves! But it's difficult to be made at them when they are so cute and typically, clever! Great eye as always, Leslee.
