“A seed hidden in the heart of an apple is an orchard invisible.”

― Welsh proverb

The day my grandma and mom planted our trees in the front yard, they could have never imagined how they would one day create a shady retreat.

Our family is filled with joy every time we take turns pushing my grandson on his swing. Sadly, my grandmother passed away many years ago. She would have loved our family time beneath the gorgeous maple.

Without their desire, vision, and determination, our every morning wouldn’t be greeted by the beautiful symphony of lovely birds singing.

When our goals seem unattainable, perhaps there is more to the story. Do you have a strong desire to execute a change in your life? How might you plant a seed? Love, hope, dream and be!
