		<description><![CDATA[Pruning the apple trees is a rite of spring. In past years I had a tendency to get started late and finish in a somewhat hurried splurge of activity&#8211;tinged with a bit of panic that perhaps I wouldn&#8217;t get it done in time. This year I had to take a different approach. Since I&#8217;m no [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Early summer is the time when I pass from the state of &#8220;getting behind&#8221; into the state of &#8220;being behind.&#8221; It is a time when there are a lot of beautiful things I might take joy in, but instead find myself wallowing in guilt or despair over unaccomplished goals. Nobody knows how to ruin a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, it&#8217;s better not to think about certain things. Sometimes it&#8217;s better to pretend you didn&#8217;t see, to not think about it. Sometimes one might wonder how their can be such moral quandaries about mowing a field. We have a back field of about five acres that runs up the hill to the edge of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are on the cusp. We balance for this one moment&#8211;these few short days&#8211;at the place of middle spring. The grass has greened, but the trees have not yet burst into full leaf. It is fascinating to look at the hillside and see how different varieties progress. In some places bare wooden branches stick up, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I, at long last, (so it seems,) have everything planted. It always seems I reach this state with less dignity and aplomb than I would like. Later winter and early spring are spent dreaming up all sorts of things that I&#8217;ll want to get done and complaining that I can&#8217;t do everything. Then, starting sometime [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This May has ended up exceptionally warm. The apple trees did bloom early, but there wasn&#8217;t a frost the entire time the apple trees were in bloom, and there hasn&#8217;t been one since. That is nice. In fact, that is excellent. To not have all my apple blossoms ruined by frost is one relief. However, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My two plum trees arrived yesterday. I have been very pleased with the condition and packing of everything that I&#8217;ve bought from St. Lawrence Nurseries. The plants are always well wrapped and in good condition. I can tell a lot of personal work went into packing the plants. So far I&#8217;ve bought grape vines, a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When we moved into this place there were three original apple trees of undetermined origin, a pear tree of also undetermined stock, and a concord grape vine. The three apple trees continue to plug along, producing fruit, or attempting to produce, every year. Harvest from the grape vine has been erratic as well, again due [...]]]></description>

It started on Sunday the 28th which dawned clear and sunny. The day followed in the steps of the morning and Monday kept up the same and today as well. [...]]]></description>

Really, this is the very worst time of year to be making plans. Winter in these climes keeps a person trapped inside for so [...]]]></description>
