May I Introduce You?

Blog World, meet Baby Tree.

Baby Tree, meet Blog World.

This is our self-pollinating Yellow Delicious Apple Tree that we planted a few weeks ago, otherwise known as Baby Tree. A-Boy loves Baby Tree. He waters Baby Tree. He talks to him. He offers him bread to eat and is disappointed when Baby Tree does not take it. Baby Tree is a part of our family.

Not too far from Baby Tree is Baby Bush.

Baby Bush, meet Blog World.

Blog World, meet Baby Bush.

Baby Bush is a lilac shrub that was so cruelly ripped from the ground by two twentysomething punks who put in our fence. "We are finished with your fence ma'am and by the way we had to rip out a bush to get the door to open. Hope that is okay." Um, if it's not are you going to replace it? Didn't think so.

Baby Bush was relocated, and is getting a slow start this year. We don't judge him for it, since it is not really his fault. Baby Bush is loved as well. We peer at him from the upstairs windows. We include him in our prayers at night. Still, he never accepts the bread offering. Seems a little selfish, don't you think?

(please excuse the dirt clods and lack of mulching in Baby Bush's home. It is on our long list of to-do's for the back yard.)

Could you pray for my plants? They don't fare so well here. Since they don't whine as loudly as my human children, I tend to neglect them more.
