While pulling weeds at the base of our grapevines with my youngest daughter (2 1/2 years old), I noticed the grapes were developing. Excited to see the growth, I pointed them out to her and said, "Look! These little bumps here will be grapes soon!" She responded appropriately and I continued to pull weeds. As I continued my work, I hear her talking to herself as she inspected the grapevines further: "These little bumps will be grapes..." She then looked at the trellising growth of the grapevine and definitively stated, "And these will be noodles soon!" We love our backyard vineyard and are excited for this season's grapes (and noodles)!
