Rittenhouse Orchard & Garden

Part One

 

~~~

On Saturday morning while Cerwin and Sam moved the chapel from Franconia Heritage Banquet & Conference Center (location of the previous evening’s dinner concert) to Jason Shelly’s shop for an afternoon truck show, I enjoyed a photo opportunity in Sam’s orchard and garden.

The border between the orchard and garden. If I remember correctly, Sam’s sister Betty cares for the garden.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tomorrow night I will give you a close-up view of what is left in the orchard at the close of the 2012 season.

 

 

It was delightful to walk through the orchard on a beautiful Saturday morning.
