Oh it is exquisite out again today!
The cherries on the big tree are so red I can see them from the house.
I just hope the birds can’t see them today.
I think I am going to talk the girls into buying a 16 foot orchard ladder from McLendon’s today and tie it to the top of the car. We have reached the limit of my dad’s old wooden 10 foot orchard ladder.
A new ladder will also be welcome this winter for pruning the “Widower Maker”.
And I know one dear reader who will be thankful we are not climbing to the top of a 50 year old ladder reinforced by duct tape.
Perhaps Grandpa Erb’s ladder can be retired to something genteel like hanging pots of flowers off of it.
