| Rondo |
The wind continues for a third day, but at least it has been sunny most of the time. The occasional shower or hail squall blows through, and it gets cold. Then the sun comes out again and warms things up. The Rondo and Solaris are preparing to leaf, and the Pinot Noir has bud break. The Chardonnay is lagging but promising. One Chardonnay vine is farther ahead than the rest. The kiwis are looking fine, and Alex has prepared a new row for the new teinturier vines. He mowed the vineyard for the first time this year.
The cherry tree has lots of buds, some of which are already flowering. And just when I thought there were no mushrooms in the lawn, I almost stepped on a bunch of fruiting bodies. There is a clearing by the trees we planted at the top of the vineyard that potentially have truffles beneath them. I want to clear that out so we can get in there and harvest truffles. Another feature of the vineyard experience.
I tried weeding a section of the flower garden, but grabbed a nettle which sent pulsating signals through my hand with damaged nerve. Something went wrong during carpal tunnel surgery and I now have a loss of sensation in half my hand.
