After twenty years in the technology field, the very first project Nathan implemented at the vineyard was setting up the communication center. I suspect we're the only farm in West Texas that had wifi before wells.

Some things never change
Our farming adventures may be a path no one saw coming--this is certainly a far cry from our corporate experience in Nashville--but some things will never change.

Sneak peek of the future
It's enough to make you forget about the current drought.

Saving grace
As we started our farming operation it quickly became apparent we needed the ability to lift heavy equipment on a daily basis. Stellar insight, isn't it.
Enter the trusty bucket loader, our saving grace. Between it and a heavy-duty chain, we can move just about any piece of equipment as needed, including our latest acquisition: the propane tank.
With neither the aid of mechanized help or another living soul, Nathan installed the bucket loader--a mere 1,500 pounds of steel--on Mae in a day. When another farmer first learned of Nathan's feat he immediately gulped and responded: You the man.
My sentiments exactly.

Pivot repair by morning
And don't think I was actually present for said repair. Nay, I was home still nestled among sheets and quilts, blissfully unaware that my husband was already at the vineyard in full-on farming mode.
Photo swiped from my dad's unsuspecting iphone. Nice shot, Pape.
