On the Land

We have spent the last week getting to know our land and preparing to work it.

A friend offered to plow some ground, and I seeded some peas.

I also started the huge job of pruning fruit trees.

This apple tree that I started on is one of several that needs a major overhaul.  Look at what a fabulous climbing tree it is.  My granddaughter loves to sit in it.

It overlooks the pond, another of the grandchildren's favorite places to be.

Actually, it's a favorite place for me, too.  The ripples are from me wading along the edge.

We are not living there yet because we have no electricity or sewer, but we do spend most of our time there and love every minute of it.  Bruce is spending hours soaking up the sunshine while getting things done.
The perfect way to spend a great spring!
