And Then There Were Two

Say hello to the Flame Seedless table grape . . .

Flame on the left, Concord on the right

By the way, we purchased the Flame vine, potting soil, and the half wine barrel at a local store.

The wine barrel was 1/2 what I paid for the other wine barrel that I bought on Amazon. Imagine, inexpensive wine barrels in California. Who would have thought? Duh.

Lots of leaves . . .

The Future

Codorniz Campground @ Eastman Lake

Our first camping trip of the season . . .

Knock on wood – our 21-year-old RV performed flawlessly. The automatic steps even worked.

A 1- to 2-hour trip from Mariposa

Drought? What drought? (However, in 2014 the lake was at 95% capacity.)

Our Campsite

Codorniz reminded us of our first camping days in Wisconsin some 15+ years ago.

These were the days when we’d slip away for weekends or long weekends to camp at Waukesha’s Ottawa Lake or up in Door County, Wisconsin. Great times.

Site 54 – 30A, full hookups

Our first campfire in many years

The Campground

It appears to be a great family campground . . .

For the kids . . .

. . . for the adults

. . . for everyone

The Sights

The Wild Turkeys

They’re everywhere

Grapes!

Planted this grape vine in a half wine barrel last week . . .

Four Feral Cats Waiting for Dinner

There’s a house in Idle Wheels that all the wild cats know about. This house feeds them.

Bits & Pieces

So much for the 70-degree temps . . .

And it’s snowing . . .

However, down in the Valley . . .

The groves are blooming

Even the trees up here in the foothills
