The Orchard

So I am about half way done pruning the orchard, my arms ache every night!! There are so many stinking trees!!! I would much rather have 150 horses than tress, but they would also be much more expensive!  People keep asking me if I know what I am doing, well I guess we will find out during harvest season!  But I have watched a lot of youtube videos!  I am in the midst of making the girls easter dresses, I feel like I have project ADD or something, I was already in the middle of one sewing project and then decided I needed to make dresses so the other one (it's  a surprise) is on the back burner for a couple of weeks.  But now that the weather is getting warmer there is just not enough time to do everything I want to get done.  Everytime I walk outside the fences, the yard, the log truck load of wood all scream at me.... and I ignore them all and walk to the very back of the orchard and continue to prune.  Chas and I always say that in 30 years our place will be just how we want it and it will be beautiful!! Until then, if you come to visit you will just have to share our vision and hope (for our sakes) it is true!  But we wouldn't trade it for anything, we LOVE it out here. That's it. End of story. We may work till we die, but we would die if we didn't have to work.
