The Grapes Be Hanging

just as I imagined it

You Heard We Do The Grapevine

Yeah, she got a tent now.

My favorite kind of day are the days where we actually work on a project that we've been talking about doing for a long time. We've got a long list of those types of projects, from seemingly simple to massive undertakings, but today we tackled one. The wretched grapevine transfer.

This thing is HUGE. I couldn't even get it all in one photo. But we got all the vine out of the tree and have twisted the root 180 degrees to run the vine in the opposite direction and built the beginning of a trellis for it to grow off of. Most of it is still on the ground, but plans for an arbor are underway. I just need to find the time.....

We're Damn Farmers

We felt like we were real farmers today...

cleaning the grapes from our vines

Gonna have some juice in a month

Then Yuula made a cake

I liked her hair

6 mos. pregnant chopping rhubarb with a butcher knife

The family pride

Fresh rhubarb, canned grape juice, apple butter, fresh broccoli and uncooked chicken

carving up our turnips

Grapes > Carrots

Growths Of Wraths And Loins

I took a walk thru the yard. We had some bloomage this summer. Got morning glories littered all over the arbor. Can barely get thru now...

Reminds me of this guy

Our grapevine is Out. Of. Control.

I think we're going to make some juice, jam and wine with all these beauties.

And flowers too!

I think these are my favorites this time. I want to eat them for some reason.

This was Laura's favorite I think, but it's getting a little wrinkly.

So proud of our hydrangea trees as well. Can't wait to see them next spring.

Dahlonega Thru A Window

Our Friday was pretty carefully planned out for us. Drive over to MJC to see Brian's new office. Swanky. Then head out to Dahlonega with Cheryl, Dave and Kevin to meet Mariah and then drop the parentals off at a wedding while the middlens went out to dinner to celebrate the youngens engagement. Longhorn it was. Then a quick last minute grab for baby gifts. A ride home with the smell of wine and sleeping baby boogers. This was a new Dahlonega for us.

Amon The Bubble Fairy

It was such a surprise that Amon and Alan came to Yuula's birthday party....

This was not a surprise.

Then we had a delicious impromptu brunch...

And then we went into the woods and ate sour grapes off the grapevine...

Then we thought on how we should do this more...

I think we will.
