Years later,
our apricot tree
is still doing its thing
allowing us
to connect with
neighbors
front and back
left side
right side
d
o
w
n
the street
and all a
r
o
u
n
d
the neighborhood.
As we share our fruit,
we are getting
to know people
throughout the community –
especially in this year
of abundance.
We did not plan
to overfeed
all the thieves
squirrels
in the neighborhood,
but they have fully
indulged anyway.
Even though the apricots
are smaller this year
than they sometimes are,
we have been able to give
so many away
and we’re thankful
for this tree we planted
years ago
not realizing then
how much
it would produce,
allowing us
to share
its sweet fruit
with others.
