There are only a handful of blogs and bloggers that I have been following, or who have followed me, since almost the outsetof HSB. One such person who has been a constant is Chris from the blogNine Apple Trees.His Ohio home, in which he shares with his beautiful family, is one that I admire greatly. He is not shy in posting about the hardships in regards to acreage life, while also celebrating his achievements with the samecandour. His blog is a realistic look on rural life, and not an edited or glorified one that most bloggers become a casualty of(myself included). From hisbeekeeping adventures, to renovating their sustainable home, and more,Chris is a great storyteller and photographer. I couldn’t imagine doing thisseries without him.
