*We still aren’t sure on the exact days of the apple blossoms this year.  We’re thinking they should be there at least one of the two weekends.



I’ll be updating this post as I ironed out more of the details and before the big days I’ll be sure to post an itinerary for each of the days so you are sure not to miss anything!

Wow – I’ve been terrible at keeping you all posted on the orchard going-on’s this winter.  So – here’s some pictures I snapped at the end of February.  I’ll get some more recent ones posted as soon as I take them (sorry..I thought I had already…)

Here’s the new view of the sheds as you pull into the orchard.And a closer view of the addition we added.The shed roof goes from the one shed to the other but part of it is just a lean.  We put in translucent roof pieces so the sunlight will still go through…it’s going to look ‘magical’.  Here’s the view of the addition if you are standing back by the goat pen.The walls and ceiling are all covered in wood boards planed from trees off Frank’s land.The loft.We’re not 100% sure what we’re going to be doing with the loft area on the addition but part of it is going to be a place our girls can hang out while we’re working in the shop.  They had fun painting the boards for the railing of their area.

And a view of walking in the door.  It’s definitely going to be different!

The orchard girls wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter!  Hope you had a wonderful day!

 

One year ago today – the orchard started to blossom…so happy to say that’s not happening this year!

I took some pretty cool pictures of ‘Winter at the Orchard’ the other day.  These are the two that are now on the NBC 15 Weather photo site.
