Thank you for the pruning guide. I printed it and put it in a small binder for easy access. I’ll be adding additional pruning info to the binder.

What do you do to find solace in troubled times?
I find solace and serenity working in my organic home orchard and garden, and I complete a cardio workout every day.
When I was ready to go inside around 5 PM, I was happy to see this beautiful Townsend's Warbler; a beautiful ending to the day.
