More work in the grapes

Yesterday morning was pretty fun. Zabeth and I rode into roccaverano with Paula, she had to get her kitchen certification papers signed so that she could continue making honey for the year. The meeting lasted bout an hour so we kept the key to the guard tower that we didn't go up in on our hike, and checked out the view. By the time we got back it was lunch, and then break time. After lunch I painted some railing around the house and Zabeth painted an antique scale and wheelbarrel bright blue with flowers, for decoration. Then paola showed us what to do in the grapes, which was just rake out the tilled weeds and grass. This morning we went out around nine and did as much as possible, and then returned after lunch to finish up for the day. Zabeth was a little tired so she switched to mowing the lawn, and then we picked some cherries. We are going to be leaving here on Friday morning, and heading to camp at lake guarda for the weekend, and then next Monday we catch a train out of Venice for Vienna. We're sticking around to see Adele in a play on Thursday night, Pinocchio, at the school. The weather is getting pretty warm, but thankfully the wind blew a little today to keep things from getting too stagnant. The food is good as always.
