Spring 2011.

"In the cherry blossom's shade there's no such thing as a stranger."
-  Issa

Cherries and pear blossoms finally greeted us this weekend! Tomatoes are planted and baby robins are leaving their nests. There is nothing more energizing that a new spring. Full of hope and new life.

Something good is happening.

While we lost our cherries to an early April heat wave followed by a late frost, the grapes and some pears made it through the crazy Michigan spring. 

Looking forward to the jellies, juices and other goodness from our upcoming harvest.
