[...] It seems as if it’s been a long harvest season, but it finally looks to be drawing to a close. Tomorrow we press our Cabernet and transfer it from vats to steel tanks. Once there, they’ll need no more attention from me except on weekends. I can go back to the Big City. Which is looking very attractive now that it is getting very cold. Yesterday, it was still 46 degrees at 10AM, so I’m assuming it must have been near freezing overnight. With a woodstove the only source of heat in the barn, cold weather takes a bit of the charm off the place. I’ve been waking up at 3AM to stoke the fire for morning. Luckily, I’ve remembered to bring enough wood in every night. I’d hate to walk the quarter of a mile to the woodpile now that we’re having more frequent coyote sightings. [...]

We’re having a mole and gopher invasion in the pasture area since the rattlesnakes moved on. So critter eaters like owls and coyotes are most welcome. In fact, I’m thinking of putting up a sign:

Coyotes Eat Free!

Actually, John the Baptist just gave me a taser. Just in case.

Oscar never has a problem running up and getting in the faces of big dogs in the City. But he seems to have a healthy respect for the coyote. Which is a relief. My biggest fear is that Oscar would try to take it on.

What an awesome blog post. Tricksters make the stories good and they teach us our most important lessons, don’t they. And your dogs (both the brave-ish and the cautious ones) are adorable.

i think lucy and oscar need to come back to the city.
