2007 Bernard Baudry Chinon "Les Granges"

[Thomas]

Hell, wet indeed. I already lost the garlic, cherries, and half the strawberries, but things have dried out. Now, it's not hot enough! And the potato bugs showed up today, a little late actually. The J. beetle group was quite large today--got about 200 plus on my rounds.

Tiresome, until harvest!

Hotwine, a few years ago, while walking my dog, two coyote come ambling out of the woods and walk across our path. They never even looked at us, but my dog looked at them, and he was not amused. He froze dead in his tracks, knowing full well who would win the fight. Come to think of it, I froze with him, until they were on the other side of the road and out of sight.

Only time I ever saw them, but we hear them at night howling down the hill from us-drives the dog to distraction.
