A Beautiful Vineyard Prayer

We received this beautiful card from our friends Phyllis and Ted in Michigan.  It is such a peaceful and tranquil poem with visions of cool breezes, warm sunshine and relaxation among the vines.  I have read it each day, sometimes two times a day to remind myself that I am living the dream.  Sometimes it is just like the prayer says early in the morning with the fog and moisture still dripping from the vines.  However it is when the temperature is at 92 and the humidity makes it hard to breath that I need to remind myself that its all worth it in the fall. Once we have battled the birds, storms and insects and harvested our vineyard and the wine is in the tanks we can sit back and enjoy our accomplishments with our many friends and customers.  I guess that is kind of the way a lot of things are in life.  It takes a little work and discomfort to make the end result something worth sharing and being proud of.  Thanks for the prayer Phylis and Ted.
