Autumn in Maberga

The grape vines have produced their crop, though due to some scorching days in June and a lack of water, the vines didn't quite reach the 100 per cent coverage of the pergola as I had hoped. Next year, for sure...
Franco and Lisa came by the other day with one of thier last batches of goat cheese, which we use, grated, on our pasta throughout the year. We like it even more than parmegiano. Franco is giving me the hard sell to buy a goat or two, which I would surely do, except for the minor issue of my better half, who remains, shall we say, skeptical about the whole thing...

Meantime, the mild temperatures along with a bit of fertilizer has made our lemon trees VERY happy, and they are producing quite olot of fruit, which will mature in the Spring...
