For those who prune them in the bitter weather of Winter, then care for them through the Spring and Summer, there is something specially sweet at the sight of a Macintiosh apple just begging to be picked! It is as if to say that one more year is finishing and the wheel of life is turning in a mysterious and wonderful way…

Psalm 67:6 Then the earth will yield its harvests, and God, our God, will richly bless us.
