The lone poplar

It was a much smaller tree twenty-two years ago when we moved here. We've watched it grow since then on our daily walks through the vineyard. It's even visible from the house. It's become a landmark much like the lone walnut tree a little further along the road. 

The lone peuplier/poplar belongs to the people who own these vines.

While it's still chilly in the morning, the high temperatures are inching (or should that be "centimetering?") upwards. We may hit 30ºC today. The mowing is done one more time, although I still have some edge trimming to do.

  1. Same temperatures here, phew! Rain is forecast from Monday though, that’ll be a relief. The Barley crop is a tonne down per acre this season. Not so good! Pats🚜

  3. I never thought about that. You can inch up but you can’t centimeter up... or can you?
