Still here. Still working.

 

This showed up in the mail today

Also today.

Believe it or not, there are six grafts of King David apple on this tree. All marked with orange yarn. Mrs ERJ gently asked when she would be getting her refrigerator back, so I am grafting what I can and NOT putting the extra scion back into the fridge for "just-in-case" situations.

Looking due-south across the Hill Orchard from the pole barn. I have seen parking lots in West Virginia that were steeper than this...but in Michigan, this qualifies as a slope.

In a semi-panorama, this is looking west, up the hill, from the same place.

I hunted this property for many, many years. I believe that this much of it has not been mowed for at least ten years.

 

60 minutes grafting and picking up trash. 75 minutes mowing.

 

So far, it looks like we dodged the bullet on the frost-freeze last night. Time will tell.
