Renee Conrath: Week 1

The tree that I chose is the peach tree in the back yard of the convent. I chose this tree for two reasons: one, because it's amazing to me how it can provide such sweet, juicy nourishment. The taste of this  fruit right off the branch is the only way to go. I feel spoiled; I'll never want a store-bought peach again. I also chose this tree because of it's location. It is rooted by the deck, where our little community eats lunch together, laughs together, and studies together. The tree has been there throughout our time here, and throughout times before we were here, providing delicious fruit for us and for them. This tree creates anticipation as we wait for it to ripen and a sort of disappointment when it's season end.
