We don't need summer. Most our food comes from Mexico anyways. They probable ship it in the refrigerators that they make for us. LOL. (Mexican made Refrigerators is a whole nother topic with me). It is 77 degrees and to hot for me. Time to put the Boat away and pray for winter.

Winemakers Excited Over What's Looking Like a Great Harvest
Posted: 6/15/2010
Some fine tasting wine could be on the way to a shelf near you thanks to the cooperation from mother nature.

That early, warm northern Michigan spring is translating into a longer growing season for grapes. Winemakers say that usually ends with riper fruit and better wine.

Some early varieties have already begun to bloom at Black Star Farms on Old Mission Peninsula.

Winemakers are typically happy if the bloom starts in July, so watching it flower already is a positive sign.

"To start the year the way we've had, everybody is smiling right now," says Lee Lutes, Winemaker and General Manager of Black Star Farms. "Everybody is excited about what we have to look forward to."

Depending on how the summer weather goes, they say the end harvest could be one of the better ones.

Mrs. RB are you getting them from the woods/tall grasses or are they even in the low grass? Going to have to watch it if we get up there this summer and tell my buddy as they are probably going up sooner than I. We have a ton of skeeters down here and I believe I got some chigger bites while geocaching luckily I have avoided those crawling bloodsuckers {knock on wood}, just the fying ones bugging the crap out of me.

You say riders, does he have another one? I just talked to him and I believe he said April was that time, they were that bad then, jeez.

Yea back after seeing a good slice of AK and it was unbelievable to put it mildly. I'll have to tell you about it and show ya some pics some time. If you have a 'list' I would highly recommend puting this one on it. By the way, when I talked to steve I told him about mass of RVs I saw everywhere and it was still earlier in the season, so I'm sureyou will know where that lead to, thoughts of RVn thru AK, maybe someday....
