 Cj.....Relaxing after our daily watering of the plants and fruit trees


This is Blackie.....he is not our cat, we dont know who he belongs to and he won't leave. 

I wish to give a special thank you to Even and Drew Kulsveen for giving the time to a little guy like me who has a dream of something big.

 The first vineyard for wine production in what was then a very new United States was planted  In March 1796, A Frenchman from Switzerland, from a winemaking family started A vineyard in Jessamine County, Kentucky.
   By the 1870s Kentucky produced as much as half the nation's production. When prohibition was instituted in the 1930's the vineyards were destroyed.
   For years after the repeal of  
prohibition Kentucky did not regain its interest in wine vineyards but instead pursued the tobacco plant and became the number one tobacco producer in the nation, now that tobacco as been condemed by society many Kentucky farmers are turning back to grapes as their cash crop.
