Hello Spring!

It's spring again at Payne Acres! We spent Saturdays in February and March in the orchard pruning the trees and now we get to sit back and enjoy the blossoms. It won't be long before we are back in the orchard thinning fruit and chasing off the naughty robins who invade our cherry trees.

In March, we had to say goodbye to a good friend who loved to be in the orchard with us. We sure miss our dog, Yogi! But we now have a new responsibility...6 orphaned kittens to feed. It has been a lot bigger job than I anticipated. I have new respect for any mammal that gives birth to anything that comes in multiples! It's a good thing kittens grow so fast! Would anyone like to adopt a kitten -- cute, cuddley, hand-fed!
