Hubby and I have dropped 3 of the seven wine clubs and hope that will free up the budget to explore new places. You don't have to be a wine club member to sit and relax at a winery, after all. We can't drop two of them that are essentially new to us (so we still have 3 club memberships) and there was a pick-up to attend last weekend at one of those.
The owner's son remembered us and was very gracious. And, it turns out that I won on their cork-guessing contest, so we took a complimentary bottle outside to sit and relax.
Even though the skies were grey, it was pleasant to sit out in their yard listening to live music while wrapped in a Mexican blanket. We took some cheese and crackers with us and chatted with the musician while he was on break. He's a young guy who we've seen many times before and is very talented!
By the time the sun broke through, it was time for us to mosey over to Highlands and check on things.
And look what I found - baby bluebonnets!
While we were there, we decided to stay awhile and build a fire. Some deer wandered through and we sat and watched them. It was very peaceful.
Sunset added a touch of gold to everything.
We headed home to Teddy afterwards and fixed dinner. The next day we putseyed around the house, getting things done here and there, including solving the mysterious appearance of small black bees in the den - turns out they were some sort of wood boring bee that hitched a ride in some logs we had in the fireplace. Mid-afternoon we grabbed a lunch and hung out at The Growler Room for a bit, playing games and relaxing. At home we made creamed turkey and watched a movie until bedtime. It was good to get some down time in prep for this week.
