A lightness filled her, like she was floating just above the ground. She was baking, the kitchen filled with the delicious aroma of cinnamon and apples, and every task was pure pleasure. A knock sounded, and she almost giggled with anticipation.

It was Mr. Olsen, his face etched with worry. He pointed at the sycamore. "The tree, it's casting too much shade on my tomatoes."

She clapped her hands together, feeling a surge of energy. "Oh! If that would help your tomatoes, absolutely!" Her mind started to race with ideas. "We can get it done right away!" She felt a profound sense of generosity, and her heart felt very full.
