Xmas.  Just like that it’s here.

Looking at vineyard pics from yesterday.  They look good from what I can see but won’t know more till I download them and edit.

Memories, two years ago the Pinot tasting with Mom and Dad and Katie, then another of the two bottles of Viognier I think my sister gave me.

Wine in nearly every memory.  Stories, books, family and the past and connecting to now in a specific way.  WINE… always a pillar and voice, character loving everything closely.

11:25, Sue making something for brunch, me thinking about work tomorrow b ut trying to force myself NOT to.

Simplifying while expending and starting new projects.  New photography and associated recipes for whatever.  Have to make this work, this photog idea and project.  Bottledaux Photography, I thought driving here this morning from VV.. anything I can shoot.  Vineyards, people, buildings, and the camera matters but doesn’t.

Feel my faith slipping, faith in myself and my writing and blog, anything I do.  Think I know the cause, but then I’m a clueless mess.

Henry eating a little breakfast my mom made, and now I tend to what I have to… a photography business.  Where do I start… POSTING PICTURES.  Anything.  From whenever, wherever.
