THE PEACHES ARE COMING !!!!! - WE HOPE

Yippee !!!! Our peach orchard is in full bloom and each of those beautiful blossoms has the potential to become a delicious peach. We can expect beautiful peaches the second week in August. Last year we had only a handful of peaches. For the first time in more than twenty years a freeze killed the fruit buds. Boy did we miss those peaches.
That's our house, Doubleview, at the top of the hill above the orchard. It's called Doubleview because from the upstairs porch you have a great view of Doubletop Mountain and Old Rag Mountain. It was originally a garrison house built by British soldiers in the famous French and Indian War fort at Upper Tract, West Virginia. In 1989 Lawrence had it disassembled and carried to Madison County, Virginia and then rebuilt. The owners were planning to burn it down so a piece of history was saved and we ended up with a unique house. The way I have taken over the place you might say it is a grand dog house.
