Fruit crop is looking good this year

We pared the grape vine back to the nub in the spring, and the same for the apple and cherry trees. It was cold and dreary in late March when we did that.

Now, it's sunny and warm, and the grapes and apples are coming on strong. The thought of grape pie is making our mouths water, but we'll have to wait a few months for that.

Unfortunately, we didn't have so much luck with the cherries. They looked good for a day -- but the bird crop outpaced the cherry crop and they got them all.
