This tree was a lot smaller when we first moved here twenty-two years ago. Across the dirt road from the tree is the old cabane de vignes, a simple one-room shelter and storage building constructed among the vines. This one doesn't get used much these days. Modern vehicles and equipment can be quickly and easily moved from the winery to the fields, making the old cabanes more or less obsolete.
Heading westward from our hamlet out through the vineyards.
It's raining right now and we're expecting more throughout the day. We're turning our clocks back over the weekend. That'll be fun. Efforts to stop the bi-annual clock change have once again fizzled. The issue comes up every now and then. Like the weather, however, no one seems to be able to do anything about it.
I’m frustrated every year by the lack of progress on the changing (not) of the clocks. I love the photo and the tree.
ReplyDeleteI wish we were changing this weekend. I'm ready for the extra hour's sleep.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's a nice looking path :)
ReplyDeleteYou’re having the same weather as we have in the “sunny” Okanagan. I’m with you on the time change. Ours occurs on November 2nd. It drove me crazy when I was a working person and losing that hour of sleep in the fall. Wreaked havoc with circadian rhythms. Statistically, there are more traffic accidents on the Monday following the change in the fall. Now I’m retired and I can just go with the sunrise. C.
ReplyDeletemitch, I want to scream JUST DO IT!
ReplyDeleteC, it's generally a pain, I agree.
ReplyDeletejudy, it's the road into the vines. Lots of trucks and tractors, depending on the season.
evelyn, it'll be time before you know it!
