Fruit of the Bloom

By Chuck Billy's Blog

The Deer were nibbling on my precious fruit tree blooms again. Last year all their snacking damaged two of my apple tree saplings and one died. Therefore this year if I’m ever going to finally get fruit, I need to stop these bloom raiders by standing guard at my trees. Unfortunately I asked Asa, a blooming fool, to help with this important duty.

Chuck Billy: Ok Asa, we need to be alert and watch for Deer.
Asa: You can count on me Chuck Billy!
Chuck Billy: What was that noise?
Asa: Oh sorry, that was me. I had a scratch.
Asa: Did you know that the human’s ability to roll their tongue was once considered an inherited and dominant trait?
Chuck Billy: I wish there were a few traits you inherited.
Asa: It’s a beautiful day for a song! “Sunshine on my shoulders make me happy…”
Chuck Billy: You know what makes me happy? Silence!
Asa: I wonder why dogs can’t whistle while they work?
Chuck Billy: Maybe if you actually worked, you could whistle! Now stop making that noise.
Asa: I wonder how many leaves are on that tree over there?
Chuck Billy: 1, 2, 3… Stop distracting me! We need to be alert for Deer!
Asa: How soon will it be before we can eat the apples from the tree behind us?
Chuck Billy: An eternity Asa, a blooming eternity!
