The grape flowers we've been seeing out in the vineyard are now rapidly becoming actual grapes.
The weather this week is supposed to get hotter and hotter every day. Even today the high temperature is supposed to be around 85.
By Sunday we're predicted to experience caniculaire (dog-day) conditions. That means extreme, dangerous heat.
Since we still don't have any kind of air-conditioning, I'm not looking forward to the heat wave. We lived through the great canicule of 2003 when we arrived here 22 years ago. It was not fun.
Those photos are beautiful. I hope the canicule is less than predicted. As a child we moved to the basement to sleep on hot nights.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how quickly plants change ... boom! Little grapes!
ReplyDeleteWe're expecting very high temperatures toward the weekend, too.
Hi Ken, they make those "ductless air conditioners" now which eliminates the need for a lot of expenses. We are seeing those installed in homes that weren't built with AC here.
