"My optimistic tree"


My Freestone Peach tree started flowering today...... even though its been in the 40s at nite it somehow knows that spring is coming.... the sap has been pushing up from the roots since mid January.

Like my Peach tree even though its spiritually blustry and cold we know that we must blossom and produce much fruit because Jesus, the spring of the eternal summer is coming.....

Now my Plumb tree, on the other hand, is like most of us who are shivering in the cold and will only produce fruit when it sees summer is here...
