Spring teases us in the month of March as temperatures flip flop back and forth nearly 60 degrees.  Today is a beautiful sunny day with temperatures reaching the mid 40s.   Gary is out stomping through the orchard with snowshoes engaging in the sacred experience of pruning.   Gary gets so lost in this annual ritual of pruning that time has no meaning.  The snow cover on the orchard floor is still 1-2 feet deep but Winter is losing its hold as the sounds of returning geese and running water fill the air.  Spring is around the corner.
