Pictures, Just Because God Makes Such Beauty

Kind of a lazy day today. Wandered around the yards, just looking at everything. Smelled the lilacs. Pulled a few weeds around the Peony bush and tied it up.

Thank you. One of the apple seeds sprouted and I'm so excited! It will stay upstairs in the grow room for now. I've no idea how long it takes an apple tree to grow from seed. I'm thinking many, many years!
