Black and White Wednesday - "The Vineyard"

Saturday night after dinner we decided to take a walk up the street to the local vineyard!
{Love this picture, hate the powerlines...but didn't have it in me to try to photoshop them out}


Where we live we are pretty much surrounded by cornfields, but less than a mile away is a local winery!! I thought it would be fun to go and check out the rows and rows of trees that are growing the grapes that will eventually be turned into wine!!


I thought it was smart to wait until after dinner to head up there, but it was brutally hot and humid so we decided to "cop a squat"{I always loved that line in Pretty Woman}in the field about half way there. It was the perfect place for a little water break.


By the time we made it all the way up to the rows and rows of beautiful trees, someone was a little grumpy and did not want to stand up on her own two feet......she was tuckered out from our walk{Even though I carried her a good part of the way}




I didn't plan to have a whole barrage of photos of Nick and Sarah sitting in the same place, but they looked so cute, I couldn't help but continue to capture the interchange between the two them.




It was hard to narrow down my selection this week, so I just decided to post them all in color and black and white{By now, I am sure you figured that out}




They both gave me the "Mom, please put your camera away" look:)


And while big brother was fixing her sandals, I got one very big and beautiful smile before I slipped the camera back in my bag for the trek back home!!

The whole time we were up there, I kept looking at Sarah in that ruffly dress and the flower in her hair and all I could think of was the "I Love Lucy" episode when they were in Italy. Do you remember that episode?

Luckily all the grapes remained on the trees and none of them were under their feet.......although they probably would have loved to stomp the grapes like Lucy did when she went to visit the winery!!
