It rained quite a bit last night - more than 15 mm in Furnace, which brings our monthly total to 43.4 mm. The LTA is 86.5 for July. You can almost hear the sighs of relief.
Everything is parched. The leaves are falling off the trees. Many trees have brown dead leaves. It's really sad to see. Very little fruit on the trees in the orchard -- 2 red cherries that I managed to save from the birds with a bag from the vineyard.
Alex is almost finished strumming. Cian helped with pulling the grass from around the vines. I did quite a bit of pruning and Alex is finishing off what I could not reach. If we have a crop this year, it may be a miracle. Less than 2 months to harvest.
