Orientation has begun!

Hallo, friends.

I want to write a longer post, but it is getting toward my bedtime - and I only have limited internet access (as my computer has decided that the wireless here is, apparently, not to its liking).

So, for the time being, I'll post a photo of the lovely crew:


Say hellooooo to Fruit Tree Tour 2012!

The past few days have included much learning (orientation, after all) - and lots of getting to know the folk shown above. Though I've been through orientation before, this is the first year learning about some aspects of tree care -- like pruning. I'm getting less nervous about lopping off tree branches with every sapling we snip on, but I must admit that I still have to take a deep breath before diving in. Surely by next week, when we're actually visiting schools (!), I'll have it all down to a fruity science. ...Right? Right!

Now, to go chat with some lovely females from tour, and huddle into my sleeping bag. It turns out that the rumors aren't totally true -- California gets cold. As in, uh, freezing. Synthetic down ... you are my new best friend.

Until next time! (Hopefully my computer will shape up soon)
