Looking back at my blog posts for this time last year, I see that we were in a heat wave. The grape harvest was nearly complete, and the daily work got under way even before the sun rose. It's a very different year now. We had more rain this summer than any in recent memory. The grape harvest hasn't even begun yet. And while we just had a week of moderately hot and dry weather, it wasn't harsh and it didn't last long.

I had a dentist appointment scheduled for yesterday, but on Tuesday the dentist called and asked if he could reschedule. He had some kind of meeting on Wednesday morning and was afraid he wouldn't make it back in time for me. So now my appointment is for next month. It's only a cleaning, so there's no problem.
How odd the weather is... up and down, up and down.
ReplyDeleteThis photo includes so many things I like: the end of the paved road where you live, the beginning of the dirt road into the vineyards, the vineyards themselves, the trees in the distance closer to the river, your neighbor’s flowering shrubs, your lovely hedge and certainly the vineyard workers whose efforts we have appreciated, through your photos, over the last several years. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me: I have a cleaning next week. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love this view.
ReplyDeleteIs it a publicity for Beauval in the middle of the dirt road?

Deletechm, I hadn't noticed that! LOL!
DeleteThe dentist is up to no good that's certain.
