John and I were up a little earlier this morning so we could get our walk in before the temps heated up.  We had another beautiful, but hot day--still no rain.

Right after breakfast, John headed to the garden and picked another bucket of grapes.  We then got busy washing jars, stripping the grapes, and making grape juice.  The job took most of the afternoon, and we ended up with 21 quarts of juice.  We plan to get the remaining grapes picked tomorrow and get the last of the juice made.  The grapes ripen all at the same time, so once their picked, that's it for the season.

We spent a quiet evening watching TV and just vegging out after a busy day in the kitchen.
