To Shelburne, from Macintosh Apple
April 5, 2014 · 0 Comments
After such a gruelling winter the likes Shelburne hasn’t seen in years, Shelburne resident, Barbara Monette completed the simple task of purchasing a bag of Macintosh apples. For most, this task is not news, but when Monette began to clean the apples, she discovered the most astonishing and uplifting sight. In almost disbelief, Monette stared at the almost completely ripe apple that had one spot on it that hadn’t ripened yet, and that spot is shaped in a perfect heart. Just the type of heartwarming message from Mother Nature Monette needed, a reminder not to lose hope that spring will eventually arrive. To Monette, the small miracle meant something a little profound, “When I saw that apple with the perfect heart on it I thought, with all the turmoil going on in the world it’s wonderful to come across something like this!” Monette commented. More wonderful still is the kindness of intention as Monette shared this happy and ‘heartwarming’ discovery with her community. Special thanks from the Shelburne Free Press.
