What are you going to go see?

I think tomorrow I'm either going to go see Narnia again, or else watch King Kong, depending on how long I decide I'm willing to sit still!

Narnia--3 hours of Kong is a little too long.

Yup. He got a Mr. Beer kit for Christmas. I figgured it was a good place to start. He can upgrade when he outgrows it.

I have dreams of someday ownin' enough land to grow my own grapes for my own wine. But that may just have to be a dream.

Spent the afternoon gettin' leaves out of the driveway. Then I moved the bulbs and iris what would be in the way of thenaybersnewfence if'n they ever get it built.

The bulbs were already growing. I prolly kilt them and the iris. One things fer sure. If the iris don't bloom this season, I'm givin' up on 'em.

Speaking of, when we took Gyps for a walk earlier this week we saw violets blooming in among the dried leaves.

I'd like to try my hand at wine someday, though I may or may not live anywhere conducive to grape growing. They sell kits that use concentrated grape juice. Of course, at that point...you're hardly doing any of the wine making, but still...it'd be something.

The Hobbit Hole compound should have extensive vinyards...

I've got pansies blooming....the ones that weren't overwhelmed by the mulch. My dandelions are blooming.

How much wine are you talking about? We get enough grapes from our two scuppernong vines to make quite a few gallons of wine. Heck, we even get a gallon of grapes from that poor, struggling concord vine.

I'm thinking of planting a couple of concord vines here....bet the squirrels would love them.

I don't know. Haven't really thought it through. I haven't gotten any grapes off of my vine here yet.
