A Happy Apple Tree

It’s been a busy week so far. Most mornings, I wake up early so that I can water all the roses, garden boxes, and various flowers Liz has around the back and front yard.

Then, it’s prepping Phineas’ numerous medications… which usually requires me to pick him up and force-feed him a bit. Then a bit of cleaning up under the caboose, as he’s had difficulties going to the bathroom of late.

Then, try to make some coffee and breakfast before the work day.

The mornings are, in a word: busy.

But today, I spotted this and immediately sent Liz a text.

One of the apple trees she planted started to flower. Which, as far as omens go, is a good one that I’ll take. This guy seems happy where he’s at, and here’s hoping he’ll continue to be happy.
