Soooo boring :)<br />Your photos show how nice and green everything is .. I hope your summer stays green.Notes From ABroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202279303962539035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-25312354383256447272016-06-06T14:17:13.906+02:002016-06-06T14:17:13.906+02:00The idea of ravines on either side of the vineyard...The idea of ravines on either side of the vineyard rows is genius.

Somehow, once we get to England, the only internet stuff I do is cursory email and facebook checking. Hardly any news. The only TV we get to watch is CBBees -- for a 3-year-old. Back now and starting to catch up. Into Paris now, for the monthly AARO meetup lunch.Ellen Lebellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01929639076042070115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-56320394101108204262016-06-06T07:45:43.451+02:002016-06-06T07:45:43.451+02:00I think that tree was top-heavy, and the ground it...I think that tree was top-heavy, and the ground it was growing in was very wet. Water from three sides flows onto that land and then runs down into the unnamed ravine/stream I mentioned, and showed in the first photo.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-81199703452618858362016-06-06T07:44:11.449+02:002016-06-06T07:44:11.449+02:00Trees fall like this, on the vines, nearly every y...Trees fall like this, on the vines, nearly every year. A few years ago, a car plowed into a vineyard plot. The <i>vigneron</i> had it all repaired in a few weeks' time.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-14774298800131733942016-06-06T07:40:46.832+02:002016-06-06T07:40:46.832+02:00That's a huge tree!
