Bare vines

Except for a few strays here and there, the vines have lost all their leaves. The vineyard is now a sea of brown. I've noticed that pruning is under way in certain parcels. The vines are pruned by hand, one by one, a long job that will likely last into March.

Bare vines on a foggy morning.

Ken and I went to the market on Saturday to order our Christmas bird. This year it's a turkey and we'll pick it up next Saturday. It will weigh between three and four kilos (six and a half to eight pounds). That's plenty big for two with generous leftovers.

    Your photo is other-worldly. Mesmerizing... from the comparative warmth of Southern Spain.

    Walt,
    Your Christmas bird is alive and well as I write this comment? Oh my.

    I've never gone so far as to cook a turkey here. A big chicken lasts the four of us for at least 2 meals, maybe three!

    sleep well vines, and dream of grapes and spring flowers not too far off.
