With school out of the way (for a few days) I've been able to get some work done outside. This year we re-planted 20 Delaware vines to replace the ones that did not survive the drought, plus 25 Diamond, plus 25 Cayuga vines.
I was in the vineyard tonight looking at how the vines came through this past winter. I'm pleased to say that in spite of the brutal weather we had, it looks like most of the vines made it. I have only seen one mature vine that may not have survived the winter. That's a good thing.
In addition to the new grape vines this spring we also have another new addition to the farm.
His name is Maxwell (or Max for short). He is a "full grown" Corgi that we got from a rescue organization in Eastern Ohio. Even though they tell us he's probably about a year and a half old and full grown he's only about 15 pounds (about a quarter of Eli's size). He's a great little character and we enjoy having him around.
Beginning in June, Morgan (our FULL GROWN Chocolate Lab) has the Princess enrolled in obedience classes. We'll see how that works out. I'm sure SOMEONE will get educated (it just remains to be seen WHO will get the education). I'll try to keep you posted on how that all turns out. Well i need to sign off and get back to less meaningful pursuits.
Check back soon (and often),
Dave and (the ever learning Princess) Julie.
