Grapes 08/08

In an attempt to keep this from being entirely a baby blog, I submit this "grape entry." Last year I built a dog area meant for unlimited access to the great outdoors for our dogs without us needing to worry about an escape. It also meant I might have a chance at having a green back yard. Well this ugly fence left us with a dilemma. How to make it fit in. Grapes! The only trouble is that grapes upset a dog's stomach. This problem seems to have temporarily solved itself. After consulting a winery owner that I know, it seems that grapes don't appear until the third year after planting the vines. So we don't have to worry about it until 2011. But I'm still hungry for a grape.
