| Full moon rising yesterday evening. |
Tonight we had a full moon, tides over the road, and a comet that passes by once every 80,000 years. Last week, we had an aurora display that we did not see. Do all these natural phenomena have an effect on the growth patterns of our flora?
In England, they've had a very poor harvest which grape growers are projecting as 20-70% below target primarily due to wet weather. The weather has been the most changeable I can ever recall. Ours was about 50% of the year before.
This weekend we have a major gale approaching and we haven't been able to get a weather window this month of 2-3 days to deliver our sailboat to Kilrush for the winter. That's a gauge for what our vines are experiencing. With the astronomical tides and strong winds, the vineyard will be exposed to salt spray for days. Fortunately, it's the end of the season. The salt will contribute to the terroir as they claim in Galicia. And another season will take shape next year.

| Road is gone. |

| Clour reflections. |

| Clouds decorating the moon. |

| And the moon rose over an open field... |
