Crabapple Masterpiece

I have a very humble garden, it grows us food, some flowers and too many weeds but not worth writing home about. One year a bird decided to plant this annoying crabapple tree. This darn thing would not die. I tried digging it up, clipping it off at the root, even the neighbor girl came over to dig it up for me. I did love it’s pretty little pink flowers though. Finally I took one of those annoying starts and planted it by the chicken coop thinking one day maybe it will give them shade and some snacks and as as added bonus, I could enjoy those pretty flowers. Fast forward a few years and we have it! A little shade tree and lovely flowers…not sure the chickens are into crabapples but whatever. And It didn’t ever grow back in the garden after that. Now these flowers, they are worth writing home about.
