Prunus Mexicana

This, my friends, is a lovely Mexican Plum tree in it's early stages. Some months ago, some family and I participated in a walk-athon where they were giving away free trees! Yes, trees! We brought home three, this is the one I chose. It turns white early in the spring, so I am very excited to see the growth of this tree! 

So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.
~ Ephesians 2: 19-22 ~
