Looks like a fine place to relax and enjoy the view.

Yes Pappy it certainly is. As my cousin who comes back home from California every summer to visit says. “It’s a great place to reboot the soul”

It really is a great spot Bob. Would love to share a bonfire with you there sometime. The lake is way down again. My brother has been fishing with his waders and doing good.

Remove the fruit this year. See how it grows and maybe leaving a light crop next year. Looks great! Looks like the bloom made it through the spring frosts so you ought to get some fruit from the bigger tree. 28 degree F for 3 hours is a 90% kill during full bloom. We made it down to 29 for 30 min one night this year. Interesting to see the timing difference. We are about a month ahead. Lodi(July apples) will be ready in a month about. But a long way to go on Stamen and Rome with a mid October pick date. The season for Primary apple scab is over and I think I got through things well this year. Lots of early mornings, maybe tonight I can post a few sun rise pictures from the last month. Need to turn my attention to some of the field crops soon.
Been hot and dry here for a while. No rain in the forecast either. Odd for this time of year in SW Pa. Think the last rain was May 20th and that was less than .5"
Worked hard this week to finish everything to be able to do some work in the shop this weekend. I better start by cleaning up my mess:)

Yes I forgot to mention that the big tree I got the graft material from did set fruit. So glad. My wife and I really like the apples it produces.
