Petit à petit, l'oiseau fait son nid. Little by little, the bird builds its nest. An expression that applies to the annual grape vine pruning here (and everywhere, I expect). It's a job done by hand (except that the pruning shears are battery powered): last year's growth is cut off the main trunk, except for one cane. The pruners have an eye for which cane should stay.
Do plum trees get pruned?
Yesterday, in a burst of productivity, I got our US tax return done and sent it off via the internet. A message came back soon after saying that the IRS received and accepted the return. We're expecting a small refund. Yay! Now its on to the French tax return.
SG has been getting together all our docs for the Spanish accountant. He doesn’t even complete the return himself and it’s still a headache. The art of pruning is fascinating and so beautiful. I love the old trunks.
ReplyDeleteBeing retired this year, I did our taxes really early... mid February! I've never done that before! We don't have anything complicated.
