July 20

I'm sure I've said this before, but I so love having an apple tree.

That affinity probably has roots in my childhood, when we had huge gardens and grew our own fruits and veggies. 

Space restrictions mean the big garden can't be a thing for me now, so I treasure the tree. And I love going out periodically and checking on the fruit's growth. So that's what I did this evening, and this is just one of the many branches of fledgling apples that I found.

They still need to grow before they'll be ready to pick, but I'm thankful now for what's to come.
