Grapes

23 September 2009

It was, apparently, a good year for grapes. Picked a lot of them today.

Used our new Roma Food Strainer and made grape juice out of about half of them. Don’t know what we’ll do with the rest yet.

Madison received about 3.63″ of rain yesterday, so our drought is officially over. That amount set the record for daily rainfall for any day in September in any year. The previous record was 3.4″ on Sept. 18, 1874.

First Frost

First frost last night — light, haven’t assessed damage yet. Forecast low was 41°F.
