Growing An Orchard

A couple weeks ago Jeremy's parents brought us down a whole box of peaches they had grown in their backyard and they were delicious! Kylie took one look at the pit inside one of them and was sure she could grow a tree of her own. She talked Jase into eating a peach as well so they could plant his in hopes of doubling their chances for success. They planted it in our garden and have faithful attended to their every needs ever since.

Everyday you can find them out there with their watering can trying their very best to get those pits as much water as necessary.

Then they make that long, hot trek back to the garden... OK, it's not really long. I'm just trying to be dramatic.

Sadly, so far nothing has come of it, but they are still holding out hoping that maybe, just maybe something incredible might happen.

Secretly as their mom I am hoping that eventually they will get bored with it before they get too disappointed and realize a tree was never going to grow. I certainly don't want to be the one to break it to them. Bess their little hearts!

P.S. Someday we'll get a backyard...someday!!
