When the sun came out today, it seemed to be prodding me to get this blog going. Hopefully, this communication will enable family and friends to keep in touch and see what life is like on this grape farm. Besides that--everyone else is blogging, so why not me? I remember about 6-7 years ago before retiring from my job, the boss told everyone to contribute daily to the company blog. My thoughts?? Duh, what's a blog? Now I fully appreciate and understand the value of a blog, but also wonder where some of the diatribe winds up??
I am sitting at my desk with the sun streaming through the window---woof, life couldn't get much better, except maybe to take a walk through the vinyard. This is the year that some key pruning goes on and if done correctly, the vines should produce a few grapes. If the weather holds, I will arm myself with a sharp pruning tool and tackle the vines sometime in February or March. After two years of nurturing, it seems almost cruel to now cut their precious parts, but I am determined to produce a quality grape that will feel proud when it is smashed and made into liquid bliss.
Life is good.
