Absinthe: Fun Fact

While researching the phylloxera epidemic in France, I couldn’t find any photos of the blighted vines….However, Vincent Van Gough is thought to have painted an afflicted vineyard in 1888, twenty-five years after the onset of the devastation. In Van Gough’s piece called The Red Vine, the one and only painting he sold (publically) during his lifetime, the grapevine being harvested are wearing…

You may remember my long project to restore our ancient heritage grapevines. Well yesterday I finally got to eat some. They tasted exactly like I remembered from years ago!

104.) My sweater with pictures of the California Raisins. Made in 2017 for a special event in which this was the theme. For legal reasons, I cannot make it into a T-shirt. #sambarsky #sambarskysweaters #sambarskyknitter #knit #knitting #knitter #art #artist #sweater #intarsia #handknit #californiaraisins #raisin #raisins #grape #grapes #grapevine #grapevines #ihearditthroughthegrapevine #california (at Columbia Central Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqGzb-ev5Mk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This looks like a good tutorial for weaving a basket out of vines, should work for any vines I guess? This is what I imagined doing anyway.

September 2022: Labor Day

Seen while walking...

A goblin hidey-hole:

This church used to be our election day voting location (As an aside, our early voting site is a different location). It had been our voting location for sixteen years. About a year or so ago, they put up these “United Methodists Stand Against Racism” signs. My queen & I thought it was awesome even though neither of us are Methodists. At the time, it just felt good to see someone take a stand for good. Out of nowhere this year, the Republican controlled election commission changed our election day voting location to a different site. It might be a coincidence but, as someone who grew up in a bigoted family with bigoted friends in a bigoted city in a bigoted county in a bigoted state in a bigoted country & had to work to slough off all that bigot baggage, I know that racism thrives in an environment of plausible alternate explanations. So, yeah, I think the election commission changed the voting location because the Republicans didn’t like the signs:    

Sunday’s backyard garden harvest: 

Sunday dinner - five hot Italians & four big Hebrews. I know how that sounds. I tested that line out on my queen & she said, “I’d say you should be ashamed but I know you have no shame” which is completely true:

I’m not a sloth, plants can’t just grow on me!!

The day's last light drapes the rolling hills of an expansive vineyard, casting a warm, golden glow over row upon row of grapevines, which glow almost neon green against the earthy tones of the fertile land. The sun, a fiery orb, begins its descent towards the horizon, its rays piercing the breaks in the clouded sky, conjuring a dramatic play of light and shadow. The silhouettes of distant mountains stand guard at the edges of the scene, their peaks like the jagged edges of an ancient crown. A solitary road meanders through the valley, disappearing into the embrace of the grape-laden hillsides. The air is heady with the scent of ripening grapes and the promise of a bountiful harvest.

Barely audible, the gentle rustle of leaves echoes the whispering wind, carrying tales of the day just past. This is a moment of stillness, of reflection, a daily adieu to the sun as it grants the vineyard a reprieve from the heat before ushering in the cool blanket of twilight.

What tales could the aging vines share if they had the gift of speech? Who walked the path today, their eyes set upon the horizon, their thoughts drifting with the breeze? What dreams are nurtured in the folds of this valley as the sun takes its leave? As the light fades, what serenades does the night have in store for the denizens of this idyllic domain?

Consider this: How has the passage of time sculpted the land and the lives of those who tend to these vines? What secrets lie in the depths of the cellars below, where the fruits of these fields slowly transform into the elixir of the gods? And finally, who will gather to break bread and raise glasses, toasting to the day's labor and the fruits of a land so lovingly cradled by the setting sun?

Why Your Grapevines Fail To Bear Fruits

Grape farming in Kenya has gained momentum in recent years, as farmers look to diversify their crops and capitalize on the growing demand for this flavorful fruit. However, despite their best efforts, many grape farmers in Kenya face a common challenge: their grape vines often fail to bear fruits as abundantly as desired. This has left farmers scratching their heads, wondering why their…
