Lots of Vineyard Activity




We're in the middle of bloom where flowers emerge and berries are set. The first picture shows a cluster that's almost finished and one that's just getting started. We're on about the same schedule as last year.

What's even more amazing is how fast the shoots growing. In the last 30 days, growth can be measured in multiple feet. If you look at the middle and last picture you can see the difference a month makes. Shoots have gone from 6-10 inches to 4-6+ feet. Pretty amazing. They grew at least and in many cases more than a foot last week.

Classic Cars in McMinnville





As part of the Turkey Rama celebration in McMinnville, they closed off 3rd Street and held a classic car contest. I've included some pictures. The candy apple red Camaro is a personal favorite. And what muscle car fan's heart doesn't speed up a bit when they see the SS 396 logo. The Corvette with the flip up doors was interesting. Saw them drive away with a giant trophy in the passenger seat. And the blue T-bird was gorgeous.

Facebook v. Blog v. Website: Overrun by Social Media

I have to apologize for the lack of activity on the blog. We got started with Facebook and have been neglecting adding all the same entries here. I haven't quite figured out how to keep everything in sync, but I'm going to start dividing time a little more equally. And don't get me started on Twitter :-)
