7-Day Positivity Challenge. Days 4 and 5. Sweetness & Generosity.
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.
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.
Generosity
@foxyspirit and I are running the ULTIMATE CROCHET CONTEST. Imagine the blast of positivity I felt when I noticed that @fiberartists had donated 5SBDs to the prize pool!!!
Generosity like this is so touching, reminding me there are some beautiful, generous and kind souls on Steemit who genuinely care about people and community.
Lots of love to you @fiberartists and thank you very much for helping the ULTIMATE CROCHET CONTEST find its feet. You're beautiful!

Wow home grown cherries. I bought some recently and reminds me I want to eat them. How tall is the tree after 10 years?
I'm not good at estimating size. It's grown to about half of the 3rd storey of my house. Whatever size that is :P
I hope you enjoyed those cherries. Mmm, my fav fruit (as well as raspberries).
It really is my pleasure. You two ladies are a treasure!
You're a treasure xx
Nice cherry tree @anjkara! Planting trees is a good way to contribute in a positive way!!! Well done!!!

Thanks Fenix :D
Yes, I've planted several trees. There are loads of birds nesting around the place in the trees and bushes. I wish they didn't eat my cherries, but I'm okay with sharing some of them :P
Thats cool. Bird friends! =)
