RETURN TO ACME

By the second week in July cherry trees in the many orchards in the area are full of fruit. The growers spend a great deal of effort, chemical spray, and planning to produce a harvest of perfect sweet and tart delicious fruit. They also have to time the planting of new trees to replace those that have passed or exhausted their productive lifespan. I believe I heard that a cherry tree reaches peak production after 5 years and reaches the end of its productive life before it is 15 years old.

If you enlarge the image above you might see the load of red cherries in the trees.

Here is one of the many country farm shops selling fruit and the many bakery products made from their harvest.

Not far North of Acme on M-31 is this elegant country B&B. If any of you want to visit us and stay a while you can come in your RV or stay at this nice place.
