Winter Yellows

One of the seasonal wonders of Napa Valley that we look forward to each year is the yellow mustard.  After the first serious rains of winter - usually in January - these bright yellow flowers, knee-high in height, bloom throughout the vineyards.  Miles of yellow, a sea of flowers divided into waves among the rows of grape vines.

Hot Air Balloons

One of our favorite things about Napa Valley in the summer, is the chance to watch hot air balloons pass over head early in the morning.  Beautiful colors gliding over the vineyards.  One of these days we'll be the people in the balloon at dawn's early light, but for now we're the ones in the vineyard, looking up and enjoying the view.
