After this I'll lay off the grape vines for a while. Or not. This is close-up of the vine tendrils as they search for and wrap around anything that can support them. Some of the curly-cues can get quite elaborate. As a testament to their strength, the hardened woody tendrils are often left wrapped around the guide wires after the vines are pruned away in the fall and winter.

This morning was a bit chilly. Clear skies overnight again. I had my t-shirt, a sweatshirt, and a fleece on for this morning's walk. There's only a slight breeze, so it didn't feel too cold and the rising sun warmed things up nicely.

I turned the sprinkler on the vegetable garden to give it a good soak. It's still dry as a bone out there. But the plants are growing. The corn is as high as a hedgehog's eye. And the lima beans are sprouting.
