DeRock! DeRock! DeRock!

We asked our friends if they would come to help us derock our vineyard alleys on Father's Day and they did not let us down. The first shift of our migrant workers began the day around 10 a.m. and called it a day at 12:30 having a better appreciation for their day jobs. Our second shift of migrant workers came around 2 p.m. and finished work around 5 p.m. and when all was said and done, we had derocked another 9 alleys for a total of 12 alleys! This means that we are one third of the way to our goal of derocking our vineyard.
Here is a shot of our motley crew:
To set the record straight, however, one of our motley crew, Barry, had a previous commitment. It turned out that his commitment was to be at the US Open held at Merion in Ardmore, PA. I'm sure that he felt hugely disappointed that he couldn't be with us derocking the vineyard because he is really into vineyard work such as tiling the vineyard when it was snow covered and 10oF. So being able to kiss the Open trophy probably must have come in a good second to having fun derocking. You would not find a more educated group of migrant workers if you tried and we thank them for giving up their Father's Day to help us.
