And look at my proud little Johnny Apple Seed who never doubted for a minute something would grow!! The innocence and trust of a child is a beautiful thing and maybe, just maybe we adults need to take que from them also!

Johnny Apple Seed
A few weeks ago, or more (I'm getting senile), Garrett came home with a couple apple seeds. He insisted we had to plant them and we were going to grow an apple tree. So I promised him we would. I got a plastic cup and punched some holes in the bottom. Then we filled it with some top soil and put the seeds down in the soil. Then Garrett watered it and we placed it on the deck in the back where it would get water and plenty of sunshine. Well, LOW AND BEHOLD, I go back there yesterday and what do I discover a plant growing, yes a little apple tree!

Wow!! I have to say I am quite impressed!! My kids always try to plant their seeds from fruit but I never pay any attention to it. Did he get the seed out of a packet or an apple? That is really inspiring! I seriously want to grow an apple tree now after seeing that! I don't blame him for being proud!! Way to go!
That was a seed from a real apple, well there were three that we planted. And I didn't think it would work haha!
I told my daughter.. and she is impressed too.. you will have to let us know how it goes!
Good words.
