Gabor and I have looked forward to reaping nature’s bounty at Sarga Haz ever since we had the privilege of being its proud new owners. And every single time, we’ve had help, unsolicited help at that.
It started with the walnuts last year. J – our neighbour from across (of neighbour’s envy, owner’s pride fame) helped himself to our and the surrounding lands entire walnut produce last year, uninvited, unannounced. Almonds too. And then bragged about how he has 30 kgs of almonds neatly stored in sacks – this from a man who has not a single almond tree on his land. Forgiven and almost forgotten.
Then come Summer 2010, we’ve had the pleasure of sampling but a dozen odd cherries – ripe, juicy and ready for the picking from our cherry tree (of soapbox fame). The rest, were a feast for those aerial f(r)iends, the seregely, (pronounced sher-e-gaye). That too in a matter of a couple of days – while we planned on returning and picking the cherries, these winged wonders decided to do the needful.
Woe! I was looking forward to making some cherry jam this year, with the help of my lovely ma-in-law! I’d really like to be philosophical about it all, especially since Gabor & I have contributed precious little, ok alright, no effort had been made from our end to grow either trees for that matter.
Nature giveth, nature and neighbour taketh. Easy come, easy go!
