The Vine and the Rose

· 8 Comments ·

There is this small vinyard, eight rows in all, wedged between a barn and a residential area, barely 200m from our house. Each row of vine is of a different grape, and at the end of each row a different rose tree is planted. Some of them still carry blooms this late in the year.

I’m so happy to see that Becky’s squares are back. More importantly: that Becky is back. And she brought squares.

She is asking for photos of walks – walking squares. I’m so happy to join in but … yes, there is a but: I don’t like walking so much these days, I’d rather ride my bike. So I will offer squares from daily bike rides.

My first squares from this afternoon show the radius of my riding activities. Standing on the slopes of the mountain range of the Odenwald in my back I look towards the west over the fields, the industrial and residential areas of the Rhine valley with the mountains of the Palatium in the distance. There are houses interspersed with vinyards to ride through, alotments and gardens.

And these are the woods in my back which I will visit in the days ahead for sure. And there is the village to cross before I get there, hence the street lamp.
