Damp day

Wednesday was mostly overcast and rainy, although the sun did make an appearance later in the afternoon. The workers out back spent most of the day plowing up two of the plots that will be replanted. They used a tractor with a plow-like attachment that digs up the vine trunks, then the guys manually gather them up into the piles you see in the picture. I think the parcels will lie fallow for a year or two before the new planting happens.

Spring green on a damp day. The rain will help.

We got an estimate from the plumbing contractor for the work we want done. We're accepting it. We've been trying for months to get a plumber to even call us back with no luck, so now that we've found someone responsive, we don't want to hesitate. He does work for one of our neighbors and she recommended him.

  1. Such a charming view. Glad you’ve made progress with a plumbing contractor. Interesting that this is the only place we’ve lived where we’ve never had trouble finding reliable contractors.

  4. mitch, covid made things much more difficult. A lot of work got delayed and the contractors are backed up. So we wait.

    travel, and it was!
