One of the remarkable things about tending these acres in
all season and conditions, is getting to experience the subtleties of each
season.
We often perceive winter in Northeastern Ohio as an
undifferentiated blur of salt-stained gray.
But a shift in the clouds, however fleeting, can reveal
startling colors and clarity, especially on a single digit December afternoon,
when ice crusted snow sparkles beneath a startling clear blue sky, and the
competing textures of flowing water and solid ice create a stunning backdrop
for our avian vineyard friends.
