We hit a high of 18C today. It was sunny and calm until mid-afternoon when the clouds started rolling in. It was a day when I really felt like just hanging out, but I did alot as usual. While Alex weeded and mowed the lawn, I did laundry, picked raspberries and apples, painted the fence, checked on the vineyard, pruned roses, and so on. But I did it fairly slowly. The day started very foggy, so foggy they closed down Shannon Airport. But by mid-morning it had burned off.
What's interesting is that many of the Pinot Noir vines have clusters of tiny grapes turning red. Also the Rondo is having a second cropping that is turning red. The roses in the vineyard are stunning with so many perfect blooms.
The apples are huge and plentiful this year as well, and the crop of red and yellow raspberries was extraordinary.
