楠ワイナリー　

今日も午前中から雪になり
結構積もった。剪定も午前中
で中止に。

市内新町の風情。
今市内のお店屋さんでは
雛飾りを飾っている。
たまたまお邪魔した古い
味噌屋さんでは、味噌汁と
味噌漬けをご馳走になった。
私が作った瓜も味噌漬けに
なって売られていました。

It started to snow again
this morning and we had
slight layer of snow in the
farm. I had to stop pruning
by noon because of very wet snow.

It is the main street in Shinmachi
with snow. It is the Doll Festival
period and many shops display their
dolls and serve some tea, etc.
I happened to visit one miso maker
and was served a cup of miso soup
and miso pickles of veges and tea as well.
The miso pickled vege melon which
I grew last year was also sold.

昨日来の雪のせいで
朝は冬景色だ。ただ、せいぜい
マイナス1度なので、思いのほか
暖かい。畑ではまだ枝に雪が
積もっているので、濡れた指先は
直ぐに冷たくなる。
ナガノパープルの芽傷処理に
畑に来たのだ。

日が差してくると雪はどんどん溶けて
畑に残る雪は極僅かとなる。
ただ、夕刻に除いた山の雪は
冬の色を見せていた。

The scene in the vineyard looked
like the one in winter due to the
snow since yesterday. But the
temperature is no less than 1degree C
below zero and it felt rather warm
for the winter scene. The snow remained
on the vines and branches, I felt cold
at the fingers once it got wet.
I came out here for making cuttings for
inducing bud burst in Spring.

With morning sunshine, the snow melted
away quickly and they disappeared in
the afternoon. However the the snows in
Myokaku-san mountain near sunset
showed the winter color.

昨日は一日中雨。
今日は終日湿った雪。
つい先日は20度にもなろうかという
陽気だったのであるが。

作業できるかと思って畑へは
出てみたが、湿った雪で
直ぐにぬれねずみになって
しまいそう。
ゆっくりと骨休めの週末。

It rained whole day yesterday
and it was snowing today. The snow
was wet and heavy. The weather had been
lik Spring a few days ago.

I went outto the vineyard wondering
if I was able to work there but
the wet snow would get me wet to the skin soon.
So I took a good resting weekend.

まだ絨毯の様に、とはいかないが
午前中の春のような日差しに
青い小さなオオイヌノフグリの花
がたくさん開いていた。

北信五岳も、低い部分を覆っていた
雲が晴れて、冬のくっきりとは
違うやや朧な風情を漂わせて
いた。　

午後は一転、空は曇り
冷たい風も出てきたが、
気づいてみると午後5時を
過ぎても畑にいることができる。
水を吸い上げ始めた葡萄の樹も
あるようだ。

The blue flowers of spring,
Ooinunofuguri, opened its petals
in the warm spring sun shine.
They do not look like a blue carpet
yet. The famous five mountains of
north Shinshu, Hokushin Gogaku, were
seen after the clouds at the
lower part had vanished. They did not
look so sharp like in winter but
a bit vaguely in spring warm air.

In the afternoon, however, it turned
to be cloudy with cold wind blowing.
But still it shold have been warm
enough so I just noticed it
got five o'clock while working
in the vineyard. I found one vine
after pruning at the lower part of
the trunk showing water at its cut.
It started absorbing water from the
soil.
