From Our Backyard










I understand why vineyards are a vacation spot.  We have a small trellis of grape vines in our backyard by the apple tree; their scent hangs heavy in the air as they gather in clusters, and picking them is almost a spiritual experience.  Vines and branches are a strong biblical metaphor, after all.  They are such a bold color, and each vine curls and coils into a unique shape as it grows.  Yesterday was a beautiful day in the midst of a week of foggy rain and mist, so I went outside to breath, and harvested a large bowl of fruit!
