Winding down

The last of the grapes in the vineyards around us are being picked, except for the late harvest whites. I'll bet the wineries all around smell of freshly pressed juice and the beginnings of fermentation.

These grapes hadn't yet been harvested when I took this photo. They're gone now.

We're expecting some nice weather so I need to get some stuff down out back to prepare for the assembly of the greenhouse. There's not much to do, but there are some things, including potted plants, that need to be moved out of the way. And we thought we'd rake up the stones in the path so the contractor won't have to do that before he starts leveling the ground.
