in the beginning

my brother has encouraged me to start a blog. thanks Benji

Today is Rosh Chodesh, the beginning of the month of Cheshvan. Cheshvan is also known as Mar Cheshvan, the month with no holidays. What a relief, yeah. to have Sundays back again.

Yesterday I went to Four Gates Winery to harvest Chardonnay grapes. Its a great opportunity to be out in the fields. We don't have enough opportunities to connect with nature. We are more connected to the food we eat when we participate in the process of growing or harvesting it. I had the opportunity to briefly go to the beach and see tidepools, as well as seeing a starry sky at night. that's what I'm grateful for.

If anyone is intresting in tasting some of Four Gates Wine, you can buy it in Molly Stones in Palo Alto, at a select location in Berkeley-contact me to find our, or check out his website at Fourgateswinery.com
