Spring is here and the buds are pushing in the Doña Margarita Vineyard!  The vines looks fantastic, as you can see.  The pictures tell more than a thousand words -- it is such a beautiful time in the vineyard!



The cover crop is about to be mowed, you can see how high it is -- perfect habitat for good predator insects!




 We also walked the winery's Don Miguel Vineyard, in Russian River/Green Valley. Soon we will mow the cover crop, after it's gone to seed so next year most of it is self-seeded.

Unfortunately it was only me, Bonita, who went both days with Mom -- Chico had to stay because he just had leg surgery for a torn ligament.   He looked so longing when we left him at Mom's office on his leash...  :-(   He has 10 more days of rest to go, and won't be able to run for another 2 months. What a bummer!  But we give him lots of TLC so he is not too unhappy -- and many licks!!
