It’s an awesome feeling to pick the fruit of your labor. We planted numerous fruit trees at our Chatsworth home two years ago when we first moved in because our yard had only dirt not one tree 🌳 Today we harvest our fruit trees 🥰what a great feeling to harvest so much fruit on this day. Perfect timing on the Winter Solstice and during Christmas holiday. I’m thankful 🙏to be able to grow fruit right in my backyard that’s organic and fresh. If you plant the seed and water it and give it love 🥰it will grow 💪🏾🍾🥳 What have you worked on lately that has started to prosper and grow?

Day #2 Legacy 😉The Great Pyramids of Giza Constructed between 2589 and 2504 B.C., the Egyptian pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure and The Great Sphinx of Giza, commonly referred to a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human.it stands on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile in Giza, Egypt. The face of the Sphinx is generally believed to represent the pharaoh Khafre.
