Our orchard, which until this year has totally ignored us, suddenly matured and actually produced something. Not just something, but lots of somethings. The bees nicely gave up a ton of honey with not a single sting involved. Our grapes taste like pure Welches Grape Juice and the apples are literally falling off the trees. And those that didn't fall were encouraged to jump by Emma who scaled the top branches and shook till it was raining apples. Even our pear trees blessed us with fruit this year. With homeschool back in full swing, recess is spent picking and peeling and climbing. Apple Butter anyone?
