Fall preview

We're still a few days from the equinox and the astronomical start of fall, but some of the grape leaves in the vineyard are starting to change. There are always a few early ones.

I'll wager that these are sauvignon grapes. Can you see them behind the leaves?

We had another good rain on Friday afternoon and into the evening. I walked with Callie in a light rain just before sunset. She doesn't mind it at all, being a border collie. The ground is so dry that all the rain in soaking in. There are no puddles or little streams draining water away. The ground is a dry sponge right now.
