Wishin' and Hopin' and Prayin....

I had given up hope - taken to the streets and forced to wander neighborhoods looking for people who didn't want their fruit.  I would make my children approach nice old ladies asking if they needed any "help" relieving their heavy branches of the much desired fruit.  

Until today.  

I walked outside in hopes of trying to clean the backyard up a bit.  Stopped when I encountered the entire box of newly purchased straws dumped in the sand box.  As I turned to go inside - I glanced up at the tree and almost fell over - there was fruit!! And tons of it...so I'm crossing fingers and knees and toes and eyes in hopes that it will make it through the summer.
