Grapes

I don't know if I mentioned that I now have a small vineyard on my property.  I was approached by our local Tumwater Winery because the owner knows I have a couple acres I'm not using, and I'm in forestry/agricultural zoning.  This part of my property is on a slight southern hillside and I was having to keep the blackberries and tall grasses at bay by hiring big mowers to come in the summer to keep the fire hazard down.  I had considered renting goats to keep it in check, but I think I would have needed to provide shelter for them.  And Sadie might never have recovered from the excitement!
