Our remaining Old Apple Tree got a 2nd major haircut, to help minimize the risk of structural failure. Over 100 years old, & hoping to keep it going for many more. 🤞🤞

Our 110 year-old apple tree is the centerpiece of the back yard, and the source of the name. It had grown waaay too tall and overloaded ['before' picture]. Patrick of Grun Tree Care and his crew did a LOVINGLY, thorough pruning to bring it back to a size that won't jeopardize it breaking itself in a wind or snow storm [after pic]. He has taken it on as his 'project' and the quality of the work shows. Highly recommended, particularly for heritage tree preservation. PS: Trussing cables to be upgraded shortly.

Since its inception the guest house has received only glowing, 5-star reviews (more than 30). This one, however, took our breath away. Duncan and Sue write:

"Having had many years in the hospitality industry from ownership , training at all levels to management, I have never given a 5 star review until now. This property, what it offers, the eye to detail , and everything in between: Fantastic. This property is what I think all AirBnB operators should strive for. The perfect balance. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

We *love* being hosts. 😊

If only there were Smell-O-Vision on smart phones... These are highly fragrant roses -- and pretty proud of themselves at the moment. You can smell them from 10 feet away. 😊

A sad day at Old Apple Trees. Given their age and extremely stressed condition it was inevitable.

The smaller, but most productive apple tree came down as a result of Sunday night's rain & wind. Last year we lost one major branch, representing about a quarter of the tree.

I had considered some method of propping up the remainder, but alas it's too late for that. However, we kept one major sucker in the hopes that it will eventually grow to replace this great old trooper.

At least the wonderful, large one over the deck is still hanging in there (literally, with 6 cables tying it together), and has a decent fruit set. So there'll be apple butter for our guests again this year.
