Grape leaves

The vineyards are starting to leaf out. It's not really noticeable from a distance, yet. But it won't be long. Most of the canes have buds and some, like this one, are already producing leaves.

Tiny leaves have begun to appear on the grape vines.

Meanwhile, we're having Thanksgiving in April. Last winter, Ken bought a couple of chapons (capons) while they were on sale toward the end of the holiday season. We froze them both, then cooked one of them in February. The second one was still in the freezer until now. This morning it's roasting in the oven and the house smells like Thanksgiving. Talk about comfort food.

  2. Good photo of fresh leaves. As you slide towards summer, we slide towards winter with great conditions for virus to breed.
