It is raining this morning so there will be no working in the vineyard today. In the past few days, I've been taking photos of our buds. They are still dormant and this is good while we "race" like the tortoise to finishing pruning duties.

In May 2014, I blogged about the
Various Stages of Dormancy which included this illustration with photos I took of the various stages of bud break in our vineyard.
The rain and the warm weather, including the sap flow that we are seeing in the vineyard, will probably hasten the transition of our buds from the dormant bud stage to the bud swell stage.
