It has been several weeks since I've done an update. The vineyard is no longer "growing." The western edge appears to have been touched by a little frost. However, the rest still looks green, yet like it is getting ready to bed-down for the winter. The vines somehow look a little less vigorous, and there are no new shoots.
Two weekends ago we took some lovely pictures to the south, the west, the north, and the east at sunset. Also, Kate and Dave surprised us with a wonderful Bluffstone Vineyard sign that they had made at the State Fair a month ago.

Last weekend, on Sunday October 2nd, we co-hosted a neighborhood potluck and pumpkin party. We even had a great big farm scale to weigh the entries in the two "largest" categories -- one for mega pumpkins and one for regular Halloween-type pumpkins. We also had a "weirdest-looking" category and a "best carved/decorated" category. I forgot to get folks' permission to include their photos, so I'll just include the one that doesn't have humans...
