Soggy day @ the orchard





I was able to visit Henrietta Creek Orchard on Thursday with my son's first-grade class (and a lot of other parents). The day started with heavy rain that waned slightly while we were there, but pretty much kept the proceedings soggy. The kids, however, seemed to have a great time. One sad thing was that two seasons' worth of crops have been affected by either an unexpected freeze in the spring or hungry parasites. It's still a neat place to visit, although suburban sprawl is getting awfully close to this family farm/paradise.
