Day 155 - at the end of the day


June 4

The pond has run its course. The fruit trees, berry bushes, and grapes drank up the water in a few short days. I took these pictures at the end of the day. The trees have a bright green vivid look to them. That means they are happy and healthy. The grapes are shooting up new vines and there are grapes the size of a baby pea just forming on them. It won't be long until the orchard is bustling with fruit to harvest. I love this time of year. It is hard work. It is tedious work. It is long work. But the rewards are so worth it!

will you fill the pond again? if not how do you irrigate? I'm so excited to get up there and see the house.
