Grape Harvest!

As I mentioned in a recent post...it was time for our annual scuppernong/muskadine picking.  As many of you know, this vineyard is a short distance from our house.  We have become friends with the owners who have generously allowed us to come every year and pick to our heart's content.  The first year we "accidently" stopped by during harvest with our out of town friends (hello Huddles!!).  The owners are so sweet, and this time even brought out pictures they had taken from our first year there, they have saved them all this time.  It is such a blessing to have such friends and neighbors.

I want me some grapes!

Mmmm....

For your info..THESE are muscadines....

And...

These are Scuppernongs.

It's a beautiful vineyard

Now that box doesn't look like grapes!

E picking away

Watch for bees on those grapes, cause mommy popped on in her mouth on a grape last year and got stung on her tongue!

This was Stef's first year coming with us.

the buckets are getting full

Find just the perfect ones, girls

A family event

We picked over 16 gallons

And tonight there are 14 gallons of soon-to-be wine buried underground brewing till the spring...yum!
