Sunshine
We are basking in sunshine on Youngberg Hill as the fog sets in the valley. The vines are enjoying the warmth of the sun and growing like crazy. The cold night we had a couple of nights ago did not hurt the buds at all, so all is fine. We are preparing for this Saturday [...]

Spectacular views!
What a glorious morning it was. The valley was full of fog and we were setting on top of it watching the sunrise as if we were on the beach overlooking the ocean. Since there have been spectacular rainbows all day as the sun and rain have shared time in the sky. Share on Facebook
