Baby Leaves!
It's such an exciting time of year. My dog Daisy and I took a walk in the vineyards on Friday, most of the buds have opened and the baby leaves are opening up. (Click on the picture to enlarge them so you can really see the detail.) The color green at this time of year is one that cannot be duplicated on any color palate. It's so bright and fresh. Walking through the vineyards just makes me smile. The excitement of the new year, the hope of good weather and a great harvest.
There's still loads of work to be done, but somehow when you look at the vines and see the result of a winter's worth of pruning, it makes it all worthwhile.
