Story Time: Trina Appleseed.

Hi friends, today I am not sharing any house photos, or any projects, just a sweet story...

Picture it. Early 90's, Sicily* Spring Valley, Illinois:
*extra points if you get the TV show reference!

Kinda cute huh?

A little girl was enjoying a delicious green apple with her dad. She noticed a few seeds in the apples they were eating.

She asked: "Why can't we just plant the rest of this apple and see if a tree will grow?"
So they did, with that very apple core.
And, would you believe it, a tree grew...

Now that little girl is in her (late) 20's.

Dad & daughter on the day he finished our fireplace. 2012.

And this is the first year that very tree, sprouted apples.

Freshly picked apples from my thought up tree.

Kinda neat, huh?

Best apples. Ever.

*crunch*

We plan to plant a few of these on our property and see if we can get a second apple tree growing.


Did you plant anything when you were a little kid that is still growing? (I know ya'll brought home some of those Earth Day trees too! Mine died.)
