THE FRUIT OF MY VINES

[Waldo]

My hands have tilled the God given land


To bring forth fruits,


to take them in hand.


Plucked so lovingly from each vine


I'll now transform them


into bottles of wine.


They'll age gracefully as I have done


From a bitter rough youth


softened and mellowed, as slowly matured


by the evenings suns.


And as our lives are, so will they be.


At some point in time, only a memory.

Very nice! Now lets eat! YUMMMM some ice cream, berries and whip cream!

 

[ibglowin]

I was thinking it needed a gallon of Vanilla for sure!

 

[Wade E]

Looking good there buddy. Mt currants are close but my black berries are still small and green.

 

[smokegrub]

Nice.

 

[Goodfella]

Very nice Waldo....


Looks so fresh and good.


How is the flavor?

 

[Waldo]

Thanks all.....Goodfela, the flavors are awesome on the Blackberries. The Blueberries are a tad tart this year for some reason

They look great, Wado. Nice words as well.


I can identify with your picture, except your blackberries look much better than mine this year. Here is Georgia they were subjected to about 20 consecutive days of 90 degree plus temps. Resulted in uneven ripening and so-soflavor. My rabbiteye blueberries are abundant and very tastly, so I won't complain. What kind of blueberries are those?

Getting a bumper crop of great Blackberies this year and the Blueberries are also rabbiteye variety. Or at least that is what I purchased them as 2 years ago
