Grapes
It was a year ago in March that we first looked at this house for the woman's program. You needed a good imagination when you looked at this house to see that it could be a great place. It had sat empty for years and had not been cared for at all. A little old man named Alfred was living in the depot in the back with his dogs and would get the gate when we came to look at it. When we finally got ready to move in it took days to clean and paint it. Weeks would go by before the electricity, generator and inverter worked correctly. But as you know things have turned around and everything is going well. I hadn't really given much thought to how much this house has improved until I walked out on the side roof to start the grill and I noticed that the dried up grape vine was now covered with grapes. My heart skipped a beat to see fruit on the vines. Wow! How far we have come in such a short time.
