This spring's unusually high rainfall totals made our one and only apple tree happy. Bumper crop-happy.
The fruit won't be ready for another month or so (or maybe longer), but I love going out there to inspect the progress. It is, of course, a gradual kind of progress that's nearly impossible to see on a day to day basis, but when I think back to last month, the growth is undeniable.
People are like that too -- sometimes it's hard to see growth from one day to the next. But when we look back on who we were last year or the year before that, we can see how we've changed and matured.
So today, I'm grateful for bumper crops of delicious apples and for the reminder that growth may be slow, but it leads to sweet blessings.
