REGENERATION

My mum had hired someone to chop down the Mini Apple tree that was growing in our garden in early January.  The reason was the branches were touching the electric wires and also the bark of the upper trunk was coming off.  I was actually rather upset because I bought the tree for my mum as the Chinese believe that having such a tree would bring peace and safety to the occupants of the house. 
I am happy to say that a few weeks before the Chinese New Year, new branches started to sprout from the stump that was left of the tree.  Mind you the branches looked healthy and very green.  Yahoo!!!

A happy me with the new branches. My reaspm for being so happy at having new branches growing from a tree stump is because regeneration is very, very auspicious. Furthermore, the branches are growing towards my house which is also very auspicious.
