Heading out

A familiar sight to regular readers, this is where Callie and I start our morning walks through the vineyard. Once we go through the gate at the back of our property, we walk around the little pond and take this dirt road out among the vines. Most of the time I go all the way out along the road then turn around and come back. But sometimes we turn into the vines and walk around the edges or go through the woods. Callie likes that best.

We're having a very nice weather week with pleasant days and cool nights. Good for sleeping. Today and through Saturday the highs are expected to be in the mid eighties fahrenheit. More and more tomatoes are turning red.

Today I'm planning to do the annual clean-out of the drains under the house. I use the power washer with a drain snake attachment to clear the calcium build-up from inside the old concrete pipes. We don't want to risk them blocking up during the winter (or any other time).
