Three plums and an alien

Okay, there they are. The first and basically only plums we'll be getting from the four trees we planted 2 years ago. The plumcot tree grew one also, which blew off in a windstorm, and the italian prune plum (plum cake anyone?) has grown two, and we will fight the birds for them.
 
But these three, they are NICE.
 
 
 
Here they are again.

 
We won't be sharing with our resident alien.
 
 
 
 This purple puffnick from the street market is turning out to be one of the most useful and utilized Christmas prezzies of all. It just goes to show ...
So far he/she has 1. carried catsup and mustard to the dinner table 2. performed a variety of low gravity gymnastic tricks 3. administered discipline via karate chop to the head 4. stood at attention looking out the window at all hours.
What more could you ask for?
 
Maybe he/she DOES deserve a plum.
