   We had a good harvest of grapes and a beautiful day to pick them.  Using 2 radios, we listened to GA Tech football and the Atlanta Braves baseball at the same time while we picked.

   Meredith Mack found a cute, completely tame, white and brown female rabbit sitting patiently at the farm entrance gates.  She lived in the tack room for a few days and was fun to feed carrots. She now has a good home with Leslie Crews who lives across the street.  Carl the Dog was especially interested in the rabbit.
