A while back, I reported that a large branch of the apple tree had broken off ... It's still attached to the tree & sap is still flowing (cause the leaves haven't dried up yet).
Well this morning, the same fate befell my much smaller pear tree. Except that this time, the branch was on the ground. Leaves were already fried up.
Lotsa fruit on the branch & they might still rippen, but the small pear tree just got smaller ...

yup, that's a yellow tomato in the centre of the picture
even the neighbour's plums are rippening ... and Nancy, the neighbour on the other side came offering a dozen of her apples (just to the right of the picture).

That's pretty much what I had for lunch - except it was 12 grain bread, and toasted and accompanied by a bowl a pea soup.
Last time I buy those engineered to be perfectly shaped tomatoes. They taste store bought.
think I'll have some toasted cucumber sandwich tonight.

One last annecdote about this year's garden ... before the snows come (we're expecting a chilly -2C (28F) and -10C (18F) with the windshield factor tonight).
Earlier last week I got a pleasant little surprise.
I planted seeds some time last June (July?), including some old twinkle flox Bryan had bought for me years ago, cause ya can't find em in the plant stores anymore. Mom use to grow them in the garden when I was a kid and I use to collect their seeds and was able to replant em the following year.
That was decades ago ...
We did come across them in the stores once - some 8 years ago. The seeds I planted were at least 3 years old this year.
As I said, got a little surprise last week. One of the plants produced one flower. I brought it in the house (it was still in it's original pot) and (finally) took a picture of it today. They come in a variety of colour and shape schemes but I'm still glad to have gotten this one.
