Sea of green

The vineyards out back are getting greener as the tendrils and leaves reach skyward. Soon the support stakes will be hidden from view and the growers will be out trimming the vines into neat rectangular rows. Summer is almost here.

Saturday morning, after the storm had passed.

Except for the weather, of course. We're having very spring-like (even fall-like) weather right now. Chilly days, rain squalls, wind. It turns out that our neighbors didn't take their party tent down during Friday's wind storm as a precaution. Rather, a branch of a nearby tree came down on top of it. Their party went on in spite of having no tent on Saturday and will continue through the weekend. I'll bet there were at least thirty cars parked across the road yesterday afternoon. This morning there are about five.

  1. Wonderful how quickly the colors change. Such a shame about the party tent, but glad the party could go on -- and better that the branch came down BEFORE the party!

  2. I enjoy every year watching the seasonal progression of the grapevines.
