Checking on the Grapes

I keep getting surprises over the growing grape vine. I thought that the bugs had eaten most of the grapes but I am pleasantly surprised that the bugs I saw were probably only eating the flowers from the grape blossoms. At any rate, here is an update on the progress and a look at some of the many, many grapes that are developing:

I took a load of items to the RV yesterday that we will be using during our trip. I plan to take more trips, if necessary, after I organize the other half of our garage. That project will continue today...
