The Gift that keeps on giving

Not sure of the exact date, but at least forty years ago I was given a fig tree.  The woman who gave it to me was a family friend named Lisa. I sang  for her husbands funeral and did not want a fee. She gave me the fig tree that her husband had readied for planting.She called it "Charlie's Tree". 

Each year we get a bounty of delicious figs.  Granted the birds get there share but always enough to eat and give away.

  1. That was indeed a great gift - a wonderful and unusual funeral fee.
