More fine weather

 


Today was a perfect day. Not too hot, not too cold, not too sunny, not too wet, not too windy, not too anything. Just right! Alex spent the day rehanging gates and finishing the planting of the new blackthorn hedge. I hope we have lots of sloes for sloe gin. Another concoction to add to our collection. So far we have white wine, red wine, apple cider, mead, and now sloes. I also made elderflower cordial and apple juice for the nonalcoholic crowd. 

The vineyard is coming along great despite the lack of rain. As Alex was digging, six inches down was moist. We are fortunate in that regard. The groundwater table is quite high here. 

I spent the day pulling weeds, cutting back the NZ flax, and transporting and watering plants in between doing laundry, which I do every Monday. I also took the time to walk the land with Mini and Ghostie in tow. Mini talked the entire time and Ghostie had the zoomies all the way. I'm so glad those two have forged an unusual May-Sep kitty bond.
