I’ve photographed this tree several times. It’s an old, stalwart, tough apple tree that grows apples that aren’t sweet, at least not to start.
But every spring, it blooms and leafs out, and does its job.
I’ve been taking note of all the little plants and trees that are starting to leaf out right now - spring in West Virginia - and how unconcerned they are. They have a clarity of purpose.
I think that’s some of whats tough for us right now - that clarity is hard to come by. Carmen wrote a post the other day that spoke to the “noise” in our heads - go to the store? Don’t go to the store? Should I clean that all up?
Strange to be a bit jealous of a tough old apple tree.
Talk to y’all soon.
