In 2008, KC helped Art plant a papaya tree. You can see that in two and a half years, the papaya tree has grown a little taller than KC.
KC went to help Art pick the almost ripe papayas. They needed a chair to reach the fruit.
I didn't get a photo of what happened next. Everything went well with the first two fruits. The third slipped out of KC's hands and fell. Art somehow managed to hold on to KC and catch the papaya by reflex before it reached the ground. I saw it happen and can still hardly believe it. Sheesh!
Your last photo is so great, such a picture of trust.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm just as glad you didn't get a shot of the falling papaya. Thank the lord it was not a falling papa or KC.
Your tree grew so quickly, so tall.
I didn't realize papaya trees grow so rapidly...and bear fruit so rapidly, too. Love the shots of the papaya picking!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful story to share with KC throught life.
ReplyDeleteKay, you won't believe this, but today, I posted a photo of a papaya tree ALSO!!! Wow, we must be on the same wave length. LOL.
ReplyDeletewow the trees are already bearing fruit! Love your photos of KC with grandpa.
ReplyDeleteHow much taller will the tree grow? And how will you use the papayas?
ReplyDeleteFabulous that Art is so well coordinated. Must be all his training for marathons, keeping him young.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dina about the last picture, a perfect photo of perfect trust!

I'm amazed at how fast that tree grew and produced! Of course it can grow year round there. You better watch KC, or she might grow an inch while she's ther too!
ReplyDeleteGreat catch, Art!
I remember when you planted that tree and it's already bearing fruit-amazing. It looks a little tricky for grandpa standing on a chair with KC-glad they didn't fall.
ReplyDeleteThat is so wonderful that KC could pick the papayas!! That tree really has grown! Glad no one got hurt!
ReplyDeleteYikes!!! I would have collapsed with a panic attack!!! Glad it all ended well!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet photo of a little KC and Art planting the tree and wow...how the tree has grown! What fun the two of them must have had while picking the papaya...minus the falling fruit!
ReplyDeletei bet KC really enjoys watching the papaya tree grow since she helped plant it. she looks adorable reaching for the fruit. hope all is well.
