Harvest is finally upon us. Well, not us exactly – our grapes won’t be mature until next year – but certainly upon our friends and neighbors in the wine grape industry.
Our much-anticipated summer with the grandchildren has passed. Even though it was a month of full-time entertainment, it seems like they were here for just a fleeting moment.
