Friends of Pipers Orchard

It was a dark and stormy night (make that a cool and rainy day), not fit for man nor beast. However, a work party was calling, and a few intrepid volunteers did work. We raked leaves, set a line from the first grape planted last year for future grapes, and planted another catawba grape.

A Piper's Orchard News sign hangs nearby Piper's Creek Trail.Joan fights the temptation to jump in the pile of leaves.
