A request:
Could you please video the action on the crush pad? I’m interested to see how this works.

Lisa, best wishes for your harvest. I’m learning so much from your experiences! Look forward to more stories and photos and remember to tape DWTS so you don’t miss a moment of Donny!

Kat, I do have a recipe for prickly pear jam. But my poor little Cacti aren’t producing enough “fruit”. I’ll have to do a midnight stealth mission down to the local hardware store — which has a one hundred year old prickly pear loaded with fruit.

Hey Lisa,
I was thinking about you when I saw the rain was coming. My neighbour picked his acre of syrah sometime last week. I’m doing the door for the football (actual, not American) Saturday morning then processing less than 200lbs of Sangiovese I arrnged to pick up. Sunday I must do things with my wife as it is her first weekend not on call in a month. Will you still need help on Monday morning? I can be out there fairly early if you are still crushing. I’m doing the sangio Lucy/Italian style with my feet!
