We  took advantage of the beautiful weather for the last two weeks of October to do a lot of mowing, take down all our orchard signs, clean up flower beds, put away all the harvest stuff in the barn and put the equipment back in, fix the broken wagons,  etc. etc.

We have had more Facebook messages/comments than I am able to respond to – thank you all for sending them.

We did manage to get away for a short vacation to Maine last week – just after the storm and had great weather – wind created some really big surf.

There appear to be a good number of fruit buds on the trees, so the first of many steps is in place for next years crop – stay tuned.
