This is our little wood pile, cut from a massive chunk of an apple tree that fell during this past Winter's ice storms.

As much of a bummer as it was to lose such a large piece of our biggest apple tree, I can't help but smile when I see this log's little heart, and know that it was in there the whole time, and it was only on account of losing that limb to the ice storm that we were ever able to see it.

Even during the rough patches, life is good. :)
