The grape vine pruning is now under way out back. Two guys worked on (and finished) the parcel just outside our back gate on Friday. That's not what's in today's photo, however. This is another parcel nearby. I didn't want to take pictures of the guys working.
All the grape leaves are gone from this parcel. The wind blew them away.
The house rocked with wind and rain again last night. It's relatively warm outdoors, but the house feels cold inside. We're still losing daylight. Sunrise waits until 8h27 this morning. Then at 9h00 the hunters show up out among the vines. Pheasants beware!
Your photos of the old grape vines this time of year always remind me of a Van Gogh drawing of pollard birches, which I loved. I bought a print in Amsterdam when I was 20, but it was water damaged while in storage one year. I miss it, so thanks for the reminders.
ReplyDeleteI hope the worker knew what a good job he was doing. I can work much better if the sun is out. Cold dark days are tough on my spirit, but we will soon have longer ones...
ReplyDeleteWell, it’s an uplifting photo, so thanks for that!
