The word of the month 14th of January 2010

What a beautiful moment! It is very rarely here to see all this snow. The last big snowfall was in the 90s.
The time was standing still, the only noise you heard was the crunch of our boots on each footstep. Sun, -8 degrees but a fresh, clear and healthy air...just take a deep breath.
But it is already finished and we welcome the rain...

The work in the winter

Pruning is now finished and we will plough the soil and dung it with an organic fertilizer.
