On Sunday, Grey decided we were overdue for doing some peach picking. So after confirming that there were still peaches to be had, we loaded everyone in the car and made our way out to a local orchard.
The Beats are at an age where picking fruit off a tree or a bush is both highly entertaining for them but also productive for us as they now are able to follow directions and help with selecting quality fruit. As they filled their bags, I found myself able to have a quiet moment, watching them and seeing how they not only interacted with the trees, but also those around them. There was kindness and care in those interactions, regardless whether it was plant, animal or even mineral.

ReplyDeleteThat is such an awesome statement, on so many levels. Thanks for the beautiful reminder that positive echos still exist. *hugs*
We're going apple picking next week and I agree that this is highly entertaining and highly productive.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are taking a little credit for cultivating kindness.
