That was when she cut roses to take to her kindergarten teacher. It wasn't THAT long ago!
Here she was a year or so later. She had been at our house in Texas for five weeks during the summer of the pandemic. Her mom was working; day care was closed so she stayed with us. She discovered the plum trees and, even though she told me she didn't like plums, as soon as she tasted one, I couldn't keep her out of the orchard. She would wake up in the morning, put on her boots, go out there, put the ladder where she wanted it and start picking and eating plums - right off the tree.
This picture has so much that I loved . . the girl, fruit trees, chickens, greenhouse. If only we could have moved our Texas house, land and the improvements we had made to Missouri. I do not want to go back; I'm glad we moved and are closer to Chad, Nicole and Addie but, seeing the pictures, there is a small twinge of wishing we had the solitude we had there, the larger greenhouse, the wells, the chickens, all the fruit trees, the big garden.
OK .. those days are over. Now we have bigger and better things to enjoy.
Now, she's playing on the volleyball team and she's way too grown up. We are able to go to her games and they're so fun!
Time surely passes too quickly!
