The air is cooler, damper, and it’s overcast today. We were rained on last night—no breakfast on the patio, because our patio chairs were soaked, and the wisteria canopy over the other seating would rain on you– 😉
I’m ready for summer to end, I think. We were cheated of our snow last winter, and that means we had a battle with pests all summer, not serious, but so much so that every trip to the garden ends with chopping or pulling something.
Oh the other hand, the pond is glass, top to bottom. I need to get pix.
We’ll be picking Pinot Noir and Gewurztraminer this weekend, more Pinot (from 30-year old Pommard vines 😉 ) next weekend, and Riesling a couple weeks after that. 🙂 It’s been a nice summer, degree-days are up, and the grapes cannot be stopped.
Ooooooh…. Gewurztraminer and Riesling. Those are my most favorites.
Chardonnay, dry, moi. Very dry whites. Dry reds, for that matter, though I rarely drink reds. But hey, more for each of us, eh?
