More Vineyard Time

Happy we are having a good time working in the vineyard.

He has been a huge contributing factor in our work this season!

The fields are usually littered with our toys.

Digging in the dirt is much more fun than actually working…

Worms, nature’s plows

My crown wearing princess loves finding the worms beneath the earth.

Jackson carrying out a load of cuttings alongside his sisters tagging along. Not a great photo but the memory of knowing they all seem to end up in the same row is super sweet.

The sunny days have been so fun to work under.

We have drug these three along the entire season of pruning. They have gladly joined us without any complaining.

We have to take breaks for napping in the back of the vehicle or resting on the grass.

I watched these two pretending and talking for a long time. Their conversation was sweet and their play was so innocent.
Freeze these memories!

She pesters her brother regularly! He is usually a good sport.

The blooming tree in the background gives us joy in the early spring.

Later in the pruning process, as the vines are cut, the canes produce droplets of water at the ends. This is referred to as bleeding.

The energy of the plant taking in the new moisture and transporting it throughout the vines cause the plant to “bleed” the water. We know at this point the buds will soon follow this stage.
