The harvest crush has begun right on schedule! These pinot noir grapes, Dijon clones from France, look just beautiful.
Steven, Martha's husband, is the tractor man. Do you see the forklift on front? It's used to pick up these bins of grapes and move them around the farm. Good thing for us because we're hauling a lot of grapes already!
Martha is doing what she does best...taking care of others. Josiah has a nasty case of poison oak, so Martha is applying calamine lotion before the day gets underway. (He didn't get the poison oak on their farm).
These are the farm dogs...black one is Maddie and the yellow lab is Warnie. Couldn't ask for two better dogs (except maybe my two dogs, Jas and Bee).
Isidra is picking grapes and has done so for about 3o years! Ditto for Mario, her husband.
It's Josiah's first year...look at him dumping those buckets....yea, for the bucket brigade! It's my second year, and a much better one than last year when it poured down rain!!!

I am responding to your comment on my blog. I completely agree with you about universal health care. Completely. I think many Americans are very afraid of a "Nationalized" country. But we have given way too much power to the big businesses, pharmaceutical companies and hmo's. What did you think about tonight's debate?
