Visitors from the Great State of Georga.

Just when you think the day is over some nice people like Dave & Cathy LaBarge drop in for a visit. Here they are with their fathful guide & driver, Jim. (Jim is in the middle) Dave is a Consultant for M & L Aviation, retired USAF Lt. Col. & lover of fine wine. My kind of guy! All the way from Georga, just to see Uncle Charlie.

Activities around the winery.

Well it's Sunday and I just realized that daylight savings time is over. Trying to get everything sorted out before I leave for France in 4 days. Here are a couple of quick pics: Freakna (aka Brian) putting capsuls on some bottles of Vin Rouge. Also my main gopher dog Spot. Good dog, Spot, he got bitten by a rattler last week. He's back to his old self now. Well I better get back to work, lots to do in next few days.

The tent that's ready to fold.

This is a picture of my Farmers Market setup. By the time I get back from France next month it will likely be cold and raining. That will be it for me till Spring! I don't like to sell wine in the rain! Very few people show up then anyway.

Desperation

You get some strange sights in the market this time of year. What the heck, everyone is having fun. However the stalls are long on pumpkins and squash but getting short of green vedge & fruit. Better yet looks like the rainy season will soon be on us. Really takes the fun out of outdoor markets. Time to fold my tent till Spring!
