I started pruning Vinoland's Pinot grigio vines today. After two days of rain it was pretty soggy out in the vineyard, and chilly, so I had to talk myself into getting started. But once I got started, I was immediately reminded of how much I enjoy pruning; it's just me, the grapevines and my trusty Felco 6s. Oh, and the little black and white dog that couldn't stop barking at a possum, cat, skunk, or something, hunkered down in a drainage pipe, that was trying to avoid her. Prune on!

Ditto!
I buy my grapes from marksies.
NHW: I think you'd enjoy pruning too!
Thud: And a lot of your wine.
I've done a bit of my own at home, but you're right; alas my arthritis would permit maybe a joyful half-hour of it.
Thud's wishful new home had me dreaming last night that he came to visit me (ha!); so I offered him a drink, he asked for a Port.
NHW: He'd more likely ask for a bourbon :)
