The apple tree


Inspired by Prof. Me's recent post, Worry Tree.


This tiny apple tree is in our backyard. I have to smile at it, bending under the weight of those three apples, ripening. I smile because the tree doesn't complain. It just hangs, lower and lower, refusing to break, promising not to let go, until those fruits have ripened. There's a lot I can learn from that tree. I'll try.

Oh, what a cute tree. I hope to plant trees someday, hopefully soon, when we know we won't be living in a house just temporarily. I'm really tired of this.
