Today is Tu BiShvat, the holiday of the trees. Outside it is a little cold, but the sun is shining. Grandpa and I go to the garden with a small sapling. We dig a hole in the wet earth. Grandpa puts the sapling inside the hole. I water it with water. Afterwards we eat dried fruits: raisins, dates, and almonds. The small tree will grow and give fruits in years to come.
