# Sweetness I pondered on positivity while I was picking up a dog poo from my garden yesterday. Anyway, when the turd was safely disposed of, I looked up and saw this. ![cherry buds.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZMCPVEwkowtMHzPjpjQCYyoQgZ1QnX4D75y4vVQcxHco/cherry%20buds.JPG) The cherry blossoms made the garden look pretty for a short while, but they have died now. Nature's cycles are not something to feel sad about. Look what're in their place. Beautiful buds bursting with the promise of life and nutrients. Real sustenance. I planted this cherry tree as a sapling about ten years ago. It gives me super-sweet bumper crops every year despite my awful gardening skills. Can't wait till they're ripe and ready! ##### I'm lumping days 4 and 5 together because I had too much to do yesterday. ![SIGNATURE.png](https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmQvVbyxq2G2RTvW6991HzzFMQezXT9nEDCCSbRhcaLLRp) ![akdivider celtic.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1519949781/c56ujmuu8f1justo6uia.png) # Generosity @foxyspirit and I are running the [ULTIMATE CROCHET CONTEST](https://steemit.com/ultimatecrochet/@anjkara/52psv6-ultimate-crochet-contest-everyone-wins).
