Who says! its 5oclock somewhere! lol
Valid point and point conceded.
It's raining and, strangely, it happens to coincide with a day when I've got not much going on. Berries don't get harvested in the rain, so there's no use going down to Vienna. I didn't go to the farm this morning, 'cause I was tired and lazy.
I've pretty much got the whole day to myself - though I'll be responding to your PM in a while. I haven't forgotten! I'm just still pondering.
Well I appreciate the thoughts on the matter. I did not know you couldn't harvest in the rain, but I can't mow my grass in the rain either and well it ain't getting mowed today.
Raking in the rain squishes the berries and we make more money selling berries that aren't mushy. We can rake in the rain and sell them to the cannery, but the cannery pays the least. The wine company picked up their berries last Friday - they don't mind 'em mushy but the rain gives the berries extra weight (we sell by weight) and I like to give them a good price as this is their first year buying bulk.
I actually gave them a bunch of berries last year. I was like, "Here, take these berries and make me some delicious wine."
They did! They took the berries and gave me 96 bottles of delicious wine. The rest of the wine sold and they decided they're going to buy more berries and make more delicious wine. 'Cause they give me delicious wine, I give them a very good price for berries.
Hmm...
I now want delicious blueberry wine and it's not even noon. Tempting...
