It rained on Tuesday night and some of Wednesday, an unusually early rain according to the weathermen on network TV. They finally has something to talk about besides morning fog, clearing 78 and sunny.
Anyway the rain caught the vineyard guys by surprise and they didn't get the cover crop and hay down until today. I thought you would like to see some of the pictures. The fellow on the seed spreader had the best job. The poor fellow on the hay blower that was loading the hay definitely had the worst job. I think we should nominate him to be on the Discovery Channel show "Worst Jobs".
On the 8th we had a welcome visitor to the vineyard. A resident (neigh
borhood resident) Red Tailed Hawk. He is our first line of defense against the gophers. Gophers are becoming the thorn in my saddle. Chewing through new plantings and with their friends the moles dingging up my new lawn. I can identify with Bill Murray's character in "Caddy Shack". I may have to rent the movie from Netflixs, to get some new ideas on gopher ext
ermination.
