When the weather is cool and overcast, we like to escape inland - which we did on Tuesday.
Steve needed to pick up his weekly supply of wine at Firestone Vineyards-
- just kidding!
Foley Family Wines licensed the images of 8 paintings for wine labels and part of the contract is 2 cases of each wine when there is a new bottling.
While Steve took care of business, Lulu and I walked around the vineyard.
The courtyard was empty except for us so Lulu was able to run on the grass
while I enjoyed the reds and purples dotting the space.
We found more color in the wildflowers blooming between the vines.
When I retired, my dream was that my garden would be blooming just like this gorgeous spot at the vineyards.
But, this little girl does not rest so peacefully in my garden so I haven't quite achieved my goal.
For the first time ever, poppies sprouted in the front planter.
And, I can't wait to fill this wheelbarrow which we found on the street today (with a sign marked FREE) with wildflowers.
I might not achieve the look of the wildflowers at Firestone, but I sure can give it a try.
