Beautifully written post! I love the imagery of the cherry blossoms and the winery. It sounds like a delightful place to visit. The history buff owner and the old delivery truck add to the charm of the winery. It's great to hear that your daughter is learning about the process of running a winery and growing grapes. The family discount on the wine is a nice perk too! Thank you for sharing your experience and the photos of the cherry blossoms. It's lovely to see the signs of spring and the beauty of nature
Thank you so much. The cherry blossoms there are staggered so that there are blooms throughout the beginning of Spring. The owner of the vineyard is a real history buff - exactly why he chose this location to build the winery. It was where one of the battles of the American Civil War was fought. It has traces of the history and buildings left.
Plus, those beautiful cherry trees.. :)
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving your words.

Oh my God! The colors of these flowers are like heaven itself, a perfect and balanced pink to the eye. The weather looks ideal for that rosé wine that by the way has a very good discount, really, quite convenient 😅.
Love your photos, they are very artistic.
By the way, we leave here the link to our recent post: https://peakd.com/hive-196308/@musicandreview/plaza-norte-craft-fair-a-cultural-piece-of-peru

I think cherry blossoms have a perfect balance of color and timing of the season. The discount on the wine is a bonus for me, although I only get it because we are related. :)

We never had a winter and we had an early spring, then it went away for a few weeks and froze everything.
Global warming, yes?
Thank you for stopping by! I hope you are having a great week!

lovely blossoms , have a great weekend
Thank you! I hope the weather is treating you well. Ours has its own mind right now!
Thanks for stopping by!
#MarketFriday loves you!
rain is pouring down again today , where last year we had a huge amount pof sunny days it seems this year we will have more rainy days. but atleast the tullips look happy with the rain 😉
these are taken with my mobile to wet outside to use the camera
They look like they are thoroughly enjoying the showers! I love drops on the blooms and the colors saturate nicely with the added effect.
Nice shots!
The cherry blossoms are really beautiful and it's nice because it's cold there now. It's summer here, so it's too hot. If only I could do magic and go there at least for a moment to relieve the heat here, I would do it. Best regards @dswigle from the Philippines 🇵🇭.
It sounds good in theory, but, you would be cold, even when it is warm here. :) The Philippines is too hot for me, but, for a few months, I know it is nice.
Thanks for stopping by an leaving your words.

Looks so pretty and bright I loved to see the bright color of this flower
Thank you so much. I hope you have a wonderful day.
#MarketFriday loves you!
Now that is a very expensive bottle of wine!! Sheesh
I hope it brought your taste buds alive as it was sipped slowly, enjoying it over a number of days.....
......or was it guzzled in an afternoon?
Never forget "It's 5 o'clock somewhere"
LOL It is one of their less expensive ones. I saved it for later, however, they do have a tasting room. If you join their wine club, you get a free tasting every day of three or five different wines. I cannot remember the number, but, enough to make anyone happy. :)
It is 5 o'clock somewhere.
Neither! I brought it home! LOL
Hey, you! #MarketFriday loves you!
Less expensive??????

How beautiful, a real spring! I love the combination of this old wall, wooden barrels and blooming wood. It seems it's time to admire the blossoms with a glass of wine in hand!
My entry for this week:
https://peakd.com/hive-196308/@tatdt/coliving-museum-of-soviet-life
Can you believe we had a much nicer Spring a month ago? They it gave way to our first freezing temperatures of the season! We never even had snow or winter this year.
Crazy weather, for sure.
I also like the combination of the old and the new at this winery. It adds interest to an already historical site. Thank you for stopping by and leaving your words and dropping your link.
#MarketFriday loves you!
Of course, it's very easy for me to believe that. Our weather is just as crazy: after the warm days came the snowfall, and there was even more snow than in December!
See? That is just crazy!! We had nice temperatures until late February, then we got the blast of cold and flurries!
Why didn't I think about having my daughter or son work at a winery in the summer when they weren't in college?

Crazy weather, for sure! After having a Sprink-like February, it gave way to two weeks of cold, freezing buds and blooms, but, it is making its way back to beautiful once again!

So much to love in this post the gorgeous blossoms, and then that cool winery, love the old wagon and cool details, I was never much of a wine drinkers myself used to prefer beer, but visiting wineries is always such fun
her eis my almost perhaps Market Friday post for this week
https://peakd.com/hive-194913/@tattoodjay/ernestina-morrisey
For me, cherry blossoms and daffodils, tulips - well, you get the point. Spring is all about flowers and blooms. It just wouldn't be Spring without them.
I really like how the winery/vineyard uses the historical site to teach history with their tours and make good use of the land by growing the grapes there. I am now really curious about the wagon. :)
Well, there is a brewery a couple of miles from here. They make kick-butt craft beer, but, you don't drink that anymore either... Wait! You don't have any bad habits anymore? I better clean up my act!
Thanks so much for supporting #MarketFriday! You are awesome!
#MarketFriday loves you!
Ohh yeah I know how you love flowers and blossoms :)
That is great how it snot just a winery but also an educational experience
I have slipped a beer in the odd times we go out for a meal, but just one these days, and do not worry I do still have bad habits LOL
Such a beautiful time of year when the cherry blossoms come out.
Wine is always good, anytime 😊
$34 is pretty expensive for the US isn't it? Must be a good bottle. Great discount. 👍
It sings of Spring to me. I love this time of year. The entire area is awash with cherry trees and tulips. Daffodils have mostly come and gone.
Wine rules. Except if there is a good Margarita or Stinger (straight up) or... or... It's all good in moderation.
I have gotten them at wineries for so long, I am not sure about the prices. You probably know more than I do about the prices. Most of their wines are around $40 and up. Now, I will check out their stock when I go back and see.
The discount is awesome! Thanks for stopping by!
#MarketFriday loves you!
I LOVE Spring and I love a good glass of wine as well, so this post is a happy way to start a #marketfriday @dswigle ;) There is something so full of promise in the cherry and apple blossoms. And to see them set against the casks and oak barrels and the gorgeous stone, truly lovely. I hope your daughter's part time job gives you the opportunity for more lovely bottles of wine ;)
Well, tho I've been SO busy this week working on my little cottage, I took time today to join in on #marketfriday, as I've missed it, so I believe I'm to give a link here? I hope that is correct. And Happy Friday and Happy Spring @dswigle https://peakd.com/hive-196308/@donnadavisart/garden-centre-in-spring-market-friday
@donnadavisart It is the very right place to drop your link, in exactly the manner that you did! Thank you!
It is spring break, so everyone is on a break from studying, including teachers. So everywhere is busy and frequently hires per diem or part-timers when they are back in town. The businesses around her need extra help when the doors open to extra people. I was surprised that teachers are hired part-time during their spring breaks too.
Money is money.
I feel the same way about spring. Full of promise, new beginnings, do-overs, and supreme loveliness. You just cannot buy that at any price. How is the cottage coming along? I have yet to restart the projects over at the shore house, but, I am looking forward to it.
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving your words! It is always a pleasure to see you1

Unfortunately I haven't had any walks so I haven't brought a post, but reading your post is a complete joy, it's very relaxing to read a post where you only talk about flowers and wine, with the concern that spring is being very wintry.
Well, I bought the wine, so it is a contender for a post. One of the reasons I give guidelines for people that might be reading your post. I don't go shopping for food hardly ever, but that is only to show people that there are other ways to be involved. I love markets, so it is a great way to participate. Plus I learn so much about different cultures!
#1 Go to any type of market, or anywhere where you pay money for a service. It can be a museum, a movie theatre, or an auction. Be creative!
#2 Tell us a little bit about the market or the event. What brought you there? What did you buy?
I appreciate your kind words. And the winter? Yikes!! It is spring and it is now acting crazy!
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your words!
#MarketFriday loves you!
Yes, I had understood that any service for which you have to pay serves as participation for the #marketfriday, and very important to say relevant things like the story or the price, which by the way you say that the wine ended up costing you 18$ for the discount, but mainly it costs 34$, here a good wine should be in about 50$ I haven't seen the price of those products for a long time.
I showed in the details that the wine was priced at $34.00 and I got a 50% discount.
Wine $34.00
50% discount $17.00
Tax $1.02
Total Due $18.02
I did say that usually, they started higher $40 and above. That was a more inexpensive wine. They are a fairly new winery and I expect their prices will go up in the next few years. They have had really good reviews since they bottled their first.
I didn't get to check out the other prices of their wine.
I just sent you that as many people don't realize it. Thank you!
Yes, I had read the whole calculation and what was the total you paid, I had commented it again because I wanted to compare the prices to how they are here, but now that you mention it I don't know how much will be the price of the economic wines here.
No worries. I am sure you will take note next time you come across it. Thanks so much for the follow-up!
It seems like the weather is acting strangely everywhere. And 6 minutes of snow? If something like that would ever happen here where we live, everybody would be outside...lol! Last year we had snow here in Hillcrest, about 15 KM from where we live, and it made the news😅!
Normally we would have to take a two to three-hour drive to see the snow that falls on the mountains.
I love the delivery truck. It would be interesting to know whether it is restored or replicated.
Wow! That is a nice discount on a bottle of wine! A nice benefit to have with your daughter working there!
Thank you for sharing your visit to the winery.
You'll find my post here.
Six minutes of snow! It was ignored. Haha! I can imagine as it sounds funny to have it snow in Africa, except in the mountains. I can remember running outside in Texas for the snow.
I'm sure it will make the news every time!!
The delivery truck is cool and I am going to find out next time I go. I may need to buy more wine, one just never knows! It is a very part-time job, but the tips are great and she is learning a lot. :) I guess you cannot beat that.
Thank you for supporting the challenge!
#MarketFriday loves you!
No problem with it being a part-time job! As you say...the tips are great and the learning is something that nobody will ever be able to take away from her!
Have a great weekend, @dswigle👍!
True. It is her second job. You know how they should be saving money upfront in life. :) Save now and reap later.
She can live off the tips! No lie!
That is absolutely great! It gives me such a great feeling of appreciation when I hear about young people who are willing to work their way up and start by laying a proper foundation. We so often hear about young people today who think everything will fall into their laps...
That is really awesome if she can live off the tips! It just goes to show what can happen if you are willing to work!
The great South African golfer, Gary Player, always said "it's amazing, but the harder I work, the luckier I get".
Smart guy!!
I like to see them work towards a goal, rather than being expectant that it is owed to them.
I am really proud of her, for taking her time and laying the foundation. Exactly.
I do agree with you.
You have reason to be proud of her!
I hope you have a great week ahead of you!
the color of the flowers that you share On this occasion it is really very beautiful and also interesting and On this occasion I will of course be able to post again on marketfriday

Wow… so beautiful the cherry blossoms 🌸 I have to visit that area one day in spring.
The weather is different lately as you noticed so well. And to see the flurries ❄️❄️❄️❄️ very cool. Luckily it didn’t stay as spring needs to continue, no going back to winter.
I love rosé, it’s the only wine I actually drink. Reds are too heavy for me. Hehehe 🤭 I’m a light weight.
That’s a great discount Denise, wonderful your daughter works there part time. She will learn a lot.
Thanks for sharing today this lovely post, I have to skip…😔 getting ready to drive to the in-laws early tomorrow morning after packing and wrapping all day.
Have a wonderful Friday 👋🏻😊 and enjoy your weekend 🌺☀️
Big huggss 🤗

Spring is the most beautiful season, isn't it? After the chill of winter, it puts forth new hope and dreams for the upcoming beauty. We never had winter here this year. In February, just as it is supposed to warm up for the seasonal change, it got cold instead! 😮
The snow was kind of funny. The wind blew in and chilled the air, then the snow flurries began to drop. So unreal looking. Then we had winter for a couple of weeks, freezing some buds, flowers, and even bulbs.
Thanks for stopping by. Safe travels to you and the hubby. Have a great pack-and-wrap kind of day! Enjoy your time there!
Thank you for stopping by and leaving your words.

It is my favourite season… spring. 🌸🌸🌸
You know, I am so glad we arrived in winter wonderland in January up here. So wonderful to see many snow weeks. It has been a while when I last saw snow this much. Love it too as it makes for magical times.
Let’s hope we get a proper spring now and the flowers will pop up everywhere.
On our drive to the in-laws the weekend I saw some tulips 🌷 so pretty. But it’s a bit warmer down south, so earlier flowers.
I started today the tiling after yesterday a whole day of sealing them twice. All handmade terracotta hexagons. None is the same… so a bit harder to put down. But will look pretty in the end.
Thank you kindly Denise 👋🏻😊 will do… we have some nice days out planned too over Easter 🐣
Anytime my friend, have a great evening and week ☀️🌺🌸🌷

Thank you @joanstewart!
I always fail to mention the fact that the early-blooming cherry trees are purely ornamental. With over 4,000 trees in the Tidal Basin and around the monuments there, I am grateful that the fruit is in the orchards.
The old wagon was pretty cool and yes, the entire region is historical and much about the founding fathers, the civil war, and lessons hopefully learned. I actually only got one bottle but, I still have half a dozen or so at home. :) I couldn't drink it while I was away. I'll be catching up soon. :)
Thank you so much, Joan! @joanstewart I appreciate the support!
#MarketFriday loves you!
Vaguely remember you mentioned in a post many of the trees are ornamental, with fruiting trees in another region, thought this was the region! 🙃
Historical pieces always add to the vibe of a place, glad you bought some to enjoy, in the collection down in the cellar each year slightly different.
Have yourself a wonderful day.
Loved those cherry flowers ! I will look some picture of that festival. And that visit in the winery, it made me really curious about the tastes of their wines... Especially the red one, my favorite among all :) And the name of that place... 😂 Seems indirectly related to crypto world haha !
Thanks you for sharing the Spring vibes and good energy, here is my market article, even if I posted in Pinmapple 🙄😇
I just need to do a post on the different wines and their taste. Of course, not being an expert, my worry is to get shot down by someone who knows better. :)
The wineries are fun to go to, there are always tasting so you can try different wines. They line them up for you in little glasses. It is always a little fun. What is not to love about red, yes? I like a nice full-bodied wine, one that tantalized my palate.
Of course, I am lightweight, so I never drink that much.
Bull Run refers to the Battle of Bull Run, the most historical of all the Civil War battles. But, yes, I agree, it does seem crypto-related if you know not of the battles! I never thought of it that way! Now, I cannot stop thinking of it!
What? You posted in Pinmapple? LOL I saw that. It is a great post. I already peeked through it. Have a wonderful weekend ahead! Thanks for dropping the link and leaving your words behind.
#MarketFriday loves you!
In any case it would be me haha ! I like to taste, but I'm far from being a specialist too !
Me neither, I'm really a slow drinker and I like it that way, my girlfriend don't drink at all, so that also helps 😂
Dammit, I really thought it was a winery created by a crypto billionaire ! *I'm kidding, I know that this "Bull Run" was something familiar and related to American history, now I'm setup to do more research !
Thank you ! The weekend is going slowly... for the moment ^^
Take good care and see you soon ✌️😇
Now I wish Bull Run was crypto-inspired. Bull Run was the first major battle of the American Civil War. It is located around the winery property (in an adjoining property that is now a National Park) It is approximately 30 miles (48km) from Washington, DC.
We are almost done with the weekend.
Le sigh.
In fact, it's a really interesting idea for a short story or a novel about time travel, American Civil War and the crypto world 😂 ! I'm almost tempted to try to write one ^^
I was a bit in the same mood, even more because I was ill and spent the all weekend in the bed lol. It was hard to go back to work today ! But hopefully, we are already in the good direction for the next one 😜
Be well @dswigle 😘

Wine, flowers, discount on wine, wineries, blossoms,...it's all I would want in life. I always thought as a kid it would be ideal to work in a candy factory but heck ya, in a winery as an adult would be where its at.😄
I used to go to the Niagara vineyards back in the day, but now I live in Quebec and don't have a car but I do have a corner store with crappy wine across the street. Also a wine and liquor store on the next corner. No blossoms though.😌
Thanks for a glimpse of beauty and romance.
Haha! See? Isn't that every kid's dream? As far as adults, we start getting picky. Winery or perhaps Brewery or even a Distillery... But, I am with you. A winery would be premium. I hope there are free samples like this one!
I think vineyards are great, but, they are pricier than the liquor stores, but, it is fresh out of the barrel! Did you like Niagara vineyards? I think Canada is really starting to spread its wings as far as the wine industry. I know that have vineyards, but, they are getting better and better at it.
Yay! It really is growing! Rotgut wine. I'll split a bottle with you. There have been days when that wasn't so bad. But, without flowers? That is almost a dealbreaker! 😄
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your words. XO

The trees are simply stunning! pink the tenderness of spring! 🤩 it's great when good wine comes with a good discount even for relatives! I love discounts! 😁 snow pleases in winter but in spring it is not suitable. in the spring it pleases when the snow melts, unless of course it was in winter. Yes, the seasons have changed. 😕 I hope the wine was delicious
https://ecency.com/hive-196308/@tali72/fountains-for-your-garden
Good wine with a great discount is awesome! I really appreciate that they do that! They don't have to, but it allows for more honesty when purchasing wine from there.
We never had winter this year (or really, last year) so it was strange to have it get cold a couple of weeks ago as we had been very spring-like for a month. The seasons have changed significantly!

this year many of our friends in different countries said that March was very cold
I agree! Everyone from around the world has said it has been an unusual year. My brother lives in Florida and it has been warmer here some days. That is so wrong!

I always fantasize about snow but seeing these beautiful cherry blossoms, I think spring is even more beautiful. I love flowers specially trees full of flowers. Just so lovely... ❤️

I find the cherry blossoms breathtaking every year. The same goes for the magnolia blossoms. They are almost more impressive and their blossom always fades so quickly. But that's what makes them so special.
I am a real wine lover, too and therefore find it very special when you can buy the wine directly from the producer.
We have many wine festivals in the summer where winegrowers from very different growing regions come together. There you can try out the different wines.
In any case, I like your fusion of cherry blossoms and wine and it makes me look forward to spring, which is still a little long in coming. For me, cherry blossoms and wine are two symbols of the feeling of enjoying life.... a great post @dswigle :)
And here is my #MarketFriday:
https://peakd.com/hive-196308/@karizma/market-friday-bunnies-everywhere
Aren't they beautiful? I have to agree with you! I agree that the magnolia is definitely more striking, it takes my breath away. They beauty has always been legendary, just read novels from centuries ago and the magnolia is always fawned over, written about and even perfume is created in its honor. It is hard to not love it!
Aren't wine festivals fun?? It is definitely a wonderful thing here in this part of the US! We have many vineyards and buying them direct is always so fun.
Where are you that your Spring is so long off? Cherry Blossoms and wine do make good partners, don't they? Thanks so much for dropping your post, and leaving your words behind.
#MarketFriday loves you!
I live in the north of Germany and this year spring seems to arrive really late. It has been cold for quite a long time and very rainy and stormy in the last few days. There are also years when it is different, but the weather does what it wants ;)
You can also see it in the spring flowers, which are blooming later than usual.
But we have to take it as it comes... all the more reason to enjoy the first warm days.
I wish you a wonderful weekend!

I love the mix of spring-winter, cherry blossoms, and wine, an unexpected combination.
This spring in Washington DC is so much like spring in Bucharest, if I hadn't read your posts I would never have known we had a similar climate.
I too would love to work in a winery or have my son work and have a discount (although my son would enjoy it more because he loves wine too much...).
Wine is more expensive at your place, at ours, a good wine costs $10 -15.
Gorgeous cherry blossoms!
That settles it! I am moving to Bucharest! :) I like good wine that doesn't cost you your firstborn child.
I realized I was going out on a limb with the Spring turning to Winter, cherry blossoms, and the unexpected visit to the vineyards - all to catch more cherry blossoms in a different environment than downtown.
My daughter works part-time at a winery close to where the school is and part-time when she is here. Works well for her and for me! :) The discount is nice and I get it whether she is working or not. Nice, right?
I do love that yours is much better priced. I can get it at the store here and it is much less and the wine is decent, but, this is straight from the barrel right then. I have been to tastings there where it comes right from the barrel, the glass is put there! That is kind of cool. :)
Cherry blooms are gorgeous, magnolias Part ll is next!
#MarketFriday loves you!
Wine straight from the barrel is obviously better. I'd prefer the same. I actually have a friend who makes wine at home, it's the one with the country dogs, but I'm not drinking alcohol now until I solve (hopefully), my new old health problems.
Glad you can enjoy the company of good wine!
Wine from the barrel is good, I agree. I remember that they grow their own grapes. The ones with the amazing kitchen, are made specially to care for their dogs.
What is going on with you? It is the same trouble as it was last year? (actually the year before?) Where you had to go to the hospital to have a procedure done? I know you have had a difficult year, but, wasn't sure what was going on.

The cherry blossoms have also started to bloom here in Japan! They’re so beautiful and so are the flowers in your area!
Lucky you! Would love a discount! There was a time that my partner and I had been trying and buying a lot of different wines. There were so many different kinds, different fragrances and different bodies. I’m still no expert so learning about the meaning of Rosè made me so happy. I love its sweetness so lately I’m more inclined to drink it than a Red wine.
Happy #MarketFriday!
Here’s mine for today https://peakd.com/hive-196308/@wittyzell/whats-in-aomoris-a-factory
Thank you! Happy #MarketFriday to you!
I like red, but the rich full-bodied flavor makes me lean toward pairing it with beef. I don't have a very sophisticated palate, but, it goes nicely with it to me.
I like trying different ones also, so that is why I love the wine tastings! You go and pay a flat fee (unless you are in the club which gives you 3 or 5 wines to taste every day) No lie! This is the best way for me to know if I enjoy the taste or not.
If you like sweet, you would like Port Wine. Port wines are sweet, fortified wines that are made in Portugal. White Zinfandel, Moscato, Riesling, Sauternes - These a nice French wines, but too expensive because it is a challenge to make, and Ice Wine is another expensive wine, but this one comes from Canada. Since the water freezes in the grapes, but the sugars and other dissolved solids do not, it creates a wine that is even sweeter than most sugar-filled sodas. Take your pick. They are all sweet and there are lots more.

Tokaji Aszu. ...
Oh my, thanks for the recommendation! I screenshoted it so when I go to the wine store, I will know what to get next time 😆
I like the wine taste concept but can’t find one here. I hope I find it though!
Beautiful !... and I could use a glass of that about right now.
The white dogwood out front has just a few blooms that have popped. With the gray afternoon we are having here, it almost looks more like snow than happy blooms.
Let's do it! Salut!! I have got some of the rose, what have you got?
I love dogwoods, they are truly one of my favorite spring trees, along with cherry and magnolia. Oh, the magnolia used to be one of my father's favorites and we had two proudly adorning the front yard. We were at his grandmother's house, I was young, not even in kindergarten. She said it was her favorite tree and when she passed away, it became his. They were really beautiful and I feel like I am taking an extra shine to them lately.
It was an overcast day, but, it started out sunny, then by 2 pm the overcast skies showed their true colors and the wind started blowing like a banshee. I can see what you mean about it looking more like snow than happy blooms. I hope tomorrow is a prettier day. The ending was so dismal, I almost forgot that it started out sunny.
We have some happy blooms in our future. I just know it! Thank you for dropping by and leaving your words.
#MarketFriday loves you!
Believe it or not, I don't have any here ! I'm so ashamed ...LOL !
We had a magnolia tree in our front yard at the house I lived in from around 8 years old till 18 when I foolishly married and left home. The blooms were simply magnificent !.... and the boys used the seed pods with the stems as grenades ! What fun !
Yes!!! I gorgot about that! I am drying three seeds out from last year. Someday
maybe you will have another. I hope to find another pink dogwood. 💗 I went trsnsplant it and killed it.
Hope you are doing something fun this weekend!
How lovely seeing cherry blossoms with adorable flowers around the place.
Thank you. I can see you like flowers too. :) Spring is such a beautiful season! I love all that it brings to me. Thank you for stopping by and leaving your words.

It must be fun and very interesting to work in a winery. I would have loved to do it when I was young, and now I would love to have someone close to me doing it that would allow me to have good discounts, hehe.
I love those cherry blossom trees. We don't have those here. And reading you about the crazy weather these days, here it has been no different, we have a drought that has lasted longer than usual and because of it, the Araguaneys have hardly bloomed when we should be full of yellow flowers.
This is my participation in this week's Market Friday.

Have a lovely weekend 🌸
It is her second job. She works there part-time when she has time. It is fun and she has learned so much about making wine and growing grapes. The discount is pretty good too. She doesn't drink though, so I have to give the discount some use. They even give me a discount when she isn't there. Nice!
Wow! Everyone in every part of the world has said their weather is crazy. Our cherry blooms started blooming almost a month ago, then it got colder than it has been all year. What???!! So, it froze some of the buds and the trees are not very full. You would think they are full, but, I know they are not. Now tonight, the wind is blowing and it will probably blow a lot of the blooms off.
Well, I did get to see them. :)

That looks wonderful, @dswigle. I love wineries! Wow, I wish one of my kids would work in a winery and could get me a discount! We have a winery near us that has a place where people can bring a picnic, and I’ve gone there on several occasions with my book club. So fun in pleasant weather! Can you do that at that winery? It sounds like it was a bit chilly when you were there, so maybe not an option now.
Enjoy the cherry blossoms! As I recall they are very short-lived.
Here’s my MF link: https://peakd.com/hive-196308/@jayna/market-friday-beach-shops
looking so beautiful blossom flowers so refreshing and colorful. Loved the way to were explain with this beauty.
The way we're seeing it now is a little cold and a little warm, which is why these plants are growing so well. The weather is so beautiful that it's fun to walk around in this weather when it's raining lightly. Sometimes it is sunny and sometimes it rains. This is the special thing about this season.
A 50% discount on a bottle of wine. @dswigle, that sounds fantastic. and that Kwanzan Cherry tree blossoming looks beautiful.

Wow this makes me want to live in that region right now! Could you send a little of that warm weather up here?
I think we are maybe 3 weeks from the first blooms but I am ready for it.
I've definitely learned a little more about wine today and $18.- for a bottle is a good price.
Same goes here in the Netherlands: it rains, then it's sunny or it hails and temperature's fluctuating also. Waiting for the days I don't have to check the weather when I head out the door.
Oh and here's the link to my MarketFriday post:

I wanted to read yours first before I commented mine.
Like the colors of the flowers so bright and beautiful. The pictures are all on point. Getting the wine of a 50% discount is cool. Looks like a black Friday with that cut
Free tour and discounts it's a win-win thing for sure 😁
