Almost a month ago Hajo and I celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary. Since the traditional gift this year was fruit and flowers, Hajo and I decided to plant a fruit tree in grandma's garden (since we don't own our own garden and grandma was kind enough to allow us our planting spree). We chose a cherry and a plum tree and planted them today. Against all odds I must say, since there are many rumors that fruit trees don't bear fruit up there where grandma lives. We're taking our chance nevertheless and really hope to harvest one day!
And should our trees really never bear fruit, it definately was worth the planting! A family affair with grandma watching, Hajo shoveling soil, Naomi having fun playing in and with the soil and me getting a kick out of watching the scene and taking pictures!
Picking fruit right there in your garden and enjoying the healthy snack right there where you stand has something paradise-like about it! I so very much enjoy it at my in-laws place where there are lots of fruit trees (with plums and grapes ripe right now). I wonder if this is how we will feed ourselves once in Heaven (but I guess no more hunger there, right?)
Blessings,
Birgit
