Now it can use all it's strength growing larger...

We sent the girls out back to play this morning, they were running through the house making noise, the cable installer guy was trying to get the TV service reassociated again, and Tara had a head ache. After the cable guy left, I looked out the window, and Lily had a couple of apricots in her hands. It turned out that she stripped the tree bare. (There were only 5 apricots on the tree, but it was a sure sign of progress for that little tree.) She had taken bites out of 3 of them, and all 5 of them were in a little dirt hole by the edge of the wall. Ruth told me there were building a nest, I guess she thought they looked like eggs. Hopefully in a couple of year the tree will be nice and tall, and we won't lose all the fruit to varmints...
