Many kinds of fruit grow upon the tree of life but none so sweet as friendship; as with the orange tree its blossoms and fruit appear at the same time, full of refreshment for sense and for soul.
Lucy Larcom, 1824-1893
If you are not already taking part in Squares, we’d love it if you joined us. Like the orange tree and friendship, squares are fabulous for our senses and soul. To join this amazing blogging community simply create your square post with a pingback to any of my daily square posts in July and the theme’s tag – TreeSquare.

If a daily tree square sounds daunting, it is also okay to join weekly or even just pop in occasionally with your trees. The frequency and content of your squares entirely depends on you and your blog. The only absolute rule for joining in with Squares is that your photograph must be square in shape! Although I’d love it if you also left a comment on my post, conversations make the challenge so much fun.
Aaaah I can smell those orange blossoms…

I love orange trees and miss our beautiful lemon trees we left behind in Sacramento, Becky. I’m linking my SS challenge to this Sunday morning 🙂

It was Sacramento that I saw orange trees for the very first time, back in 1979!
PS Look forward to seeing it tomorrow 🙂
