Just in time
We received at least an inch of rain this weekend; hallelujah! Besides all the obvious reasons to celebrate, I had two more. When I rode around the hill on Friday, I noticed that propane cannon had been set up in the vineyards we've been riding through. While I haven't heard any go off yet, Lance and I will be avoiding the area until the "grape wars" (otherwise known as harvest) are over; good thing my sand arena got watered! We took advantage of that this afternoon – just in time to help us better prepare for our show this Wednesday. :-)

They are used to protect the ripening grapes from marauding birds, along with other kinds of noise-makers, some of which play distress calls from birds and deer. It all causes a terrible racket for awhile, which is why I call it the "grape wars."
