Hi, everyone,

I'm here, over in the Parker, Lucas area, just east of Plano. We've been
blessed with rain, of late. Yesterday's tornado warning path
was projected to come pretty close to us, but nothing became of it,
thank goodness. Haven't been posting much, but I have been pruning
and planting much, of late. Been pruning alot, and trying to finish out
the last few unplanted holes in the vineyard. Planted 5 "America" and
5 "Nitodal" that I received from ARS/GRIN, just to fill out any empty
holes. I mostly have Lomanto, and it grows well, here. Favorite grows
well, too. I guess usually I'm a silent poster,of late. Been working on
many things,lately. I'm trying to find some local land to plant a larger
vineyard on.

Rory,
