I was out in the backyard today -- it's a perfect Toronto
blue sky day -- no smog, and everyone looks so
happy.  But the apple tree in this picture likes it a
bit too much.  It was sold as a dwarf apple tree.  This
year the frost hit the blooms, so there won't be many
apples.  But the apples that have survived will be large
and yellow.  And the tree is reaching, reaching across our
tiny yard trying to touch the house I think.  Definitely
a large and growing entity.

Still I love it.  Love its seemingly huge green, soft
leaves.  And the year Sean gardened for us, (which goes
down in our memory as a special year indeed),  this is
what it looked like.


Have a loving-the-trees-you-see day.
