A stop for the view.

On the road in Chianti we decided to stop and take in the view. It's magical, no matter how many times you've been here. In the last few weeks the vines have gone from gnarled stumps to vibrant greens with new life bursting out everywhere.

It certainly makes a break from Florence.

Vines and Vistas.

The days grow warmer and all of a sudden life is everywhere...but the vines......slowly does it. They take their time to awaken and somehow I agree. Where is the hurry? Summer days will come. There will be time yet to grow and ripen.
