After cruising the veggie patches we walked through the vineyard. There were exciting changes there too. Plants that were grape-free on Thursday sported wee bunches of grapes, and grape leaves that were just beginning to unfurl last week had almost doubled in size.
I think it's safe to say we all are familiar with the development of plants. Even if we don't garden ourselves we all learned about it in school, but I have to tell you, it's so much more satisfying to witness this process in person. I'm fortunate that L lets me play a small role in life on her farm.
