Why I Stopped Posting For A While

[crmauch]

To be honest, there were other factors

• A new job involving a 3 hour round trip commute
• Searching for a different job w/ less commute (and that I liked better)
• Which I thankfully found by September
• Getting situated in the new job and getting past 'probation'

But this was a major factor:

FIREBLIGHT LATE BLIGHT

These were taken about 1 week after a major rainstorm that took the fireblight late blight on a major rampage (just as production was coming into full swing:

As compared to just before the flare-up (In retrospect I can see the fireblight late blight on the leaves, but it might have been manageable at this point):

But I'm back now and looking forward to 2015!!!
