Romance is in the Air


What does romance have to do with a cake stand filled with grapes?


As I reached up to cut the stem on my very own grapes, thoughts rushed through my mind of Italy and the romance I dream of being on holiday there.

 Did you happen to see the movie, A Walk in the Clouds ? It is a very romantic movie that includes a vineyard in Napa Valley, California. Not exactly Italy, but it is my imagination I am writing about.

These are the very first table grapes I have grown on the farm. So, I guess if it gives me a euphoric feeling to cut my grapes....I will hold on to that feeling for today!

      Scotland is just lovely and my hubby says we'll go back there one day--his grandfather was from Edinborough. If you go, the street before the Royal Mile to the Castle is Cockburn Street!

      Hello Jan....I would have to say, "Yes". They were especially good after I chilled them a bit.

      Hello Jane....I rely on my imagination many times. I find it is the same with reading fiction...or writing it!

    Your grapes look wonderful - is the cake stand made of milk glass?I've always found it wonderful that nobody and nothing has ever been able to stop me from thinking, dreaming, wishing and hoping.That is a richness others may never know, and something I am very grateful for.

      I thought they tasted real good, especially chilled a bit. The movie is an older one....

    There is something about grapes that I just love! Of course, I enjoy eating the fruit, but it's more than that...the look of a cluster of grapes brings about so many lovely thoughts. It's one of my favorite motifs! Glad you are growing your own. How wonderful!
