it may be overgrown but I promise, we’re open
I’m so glad to see the green grass & certainly the trees need the rain. Even better, the vines don’t need much irrigation when we get plenty of rain. BUT it is difficult to keep up with the yard work and this wild morning-glory has overtaken my sign up front! I assure you, we are OPEN, despite looking a wee bit abandoned, and when the wild purple flowers bloom, it looks kind of cool.
My other excuse is of course that I’ve been busy with Baby Grape & lots of winemaking.
