Dear Figs and Ginger,
Please humbly consider this my entry into your first annual Earth Day Giveaway. I covet all your fawn adorned jewelry so when I learned that by merely planting a tree I could win a free pair of Fawn Post Earrings I grabbed a loquat cutting and headed outside. Well actually I made my husband Chris plant the tree, but I took the pictures so that will hopefully count. My husband has a green thumb and loves loquats. We have a huge tree full of fruit in our front yard that he planted. Each year he makes us loquat cobbler and loquat ice cream with the fruit. He also starts little saplings from the loquat seeds that we have in various pots around our backyard. When I heard of your contest I thought what better way to celebrate Earth Day and score myself some spiffy new earrings than to plant one of those saplings in our yard. You can never have too many loquats. As you can see even our dog Ella thought it was a great idea.
Sincerely,
Jennifer D. Perkins
