This is the future septic site. The trees to the right of the picture, near the big truck, will remain standing, there are some nice bigger trees in there, though they won't be much camoflage in the winter when the leaves drop. It will be amazing to see the winter landscape again, it's one of the times you realize the incredible difference in forest composition here as compared to the west coast.
We have been delighted to find the remains of an old apple orchard among the trees, still gridded out and everything. The first few trees we found we attributed to self seeding, but then the precise placement and regular spacing of them started to reveal a pattern. These trees are very tall and in need of a lot of renovation. We've got Tom's recommendations stored in the old brainpans, and we met a neighbor recently who worked in orchards for many years and is a pruning expert and loves to renovate trees. So we've got some more learning opportunities ahead. Okay, we'll upload more pictures on Saturday evening when we have some more to share. Thanks for reading.
