Day 4 - Family Fun with Wine and Guns

Orange salt and pepper shakers: a gift to Catherine from Daniel's grandma. They match the orange pitcher that she gave us for a housewarming present when we moved to Orange Avenue.

An introduction to beekeeping with Daniel's uncle Peter.

The hives in the orchard.
The beautiful scenery around the Sturm Ranch in Jacksonville.

The ditch. Irrigation water for the orchard and hop yard.

The Applegate River runs through the property.

A squirrel. Despite the best efforts to save him, his fate is unknown.



Wine tasting at one of the many wineries near their house, in between Jacksonville and Applegate.
"Experimental" wines.




Learning to shoot a handgun and a rifle near the orchard. We were both interested to try it, and hitting the targets was exciting.
