It feels like Fall now, especially early in the morning.
There is this crisp, fresh coolness in the air that wakes you up,
especially when you're out in the middle of nowhere...
After
2 hours and 113 miles, we arrived at a vineyard in Michigan. The old
couple greeted me with warm smiles and directed me to the location of 2
specific types grapes I was interested in: Concord and Jupiter. It was a
sunny, beautiful day with mild winds spreading the sweet smell of the
concord. It reminded me of my childhood days when concord grapes were
our family favorites. Little Jupiter grapes were not only tasty, but
also beautiful -- hanging there waiting for you to envy them and love
them back. At that moment, the world returned back to normal. The sun
was still shining, the wind was still waving, the gentle sweetness in
the air was still enticing... The grape-picking experience was calm,
pleasant and relaxing -- you'd take your time, pick your favorite bunch
of grapes and let your mind wondering freely...
Why is this not heaven on earth???
