More grapes coming in!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cows on the hill, oh wait, I’m supposed to be paying attention to the grapes coming in!  The fruit was extra clean this year.  I pulled out one earwig, a handful of white spiders, and not much else.  Dried tendrils were the only ‘debris’ I sorted out of the picking bins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Three full bins ready for crush!
