We were so fortunate to have Sarah Rabkin and her partner Chuck Atkinson join us at Condor’s Hope for a weekend of writing and sketching in the vineyard. For most it was their first time visit to Condor’s Hope and they were welcomed by the generosity of the land, the magic of bringing people together in a new place and the sharing of wine, food and stories. (Thanks to Hank Niles and Hugh Bollinger for some of the photos and to Caroline Carney for the sketch.)
- Sarah, with musings and readings,
- and the vineyard
- in full spring green
- Steve shared our dry-farming practices
- of eager learners
- and old friends.
- by Dutch Oven specialties
- Our ‘writing circle’
- became our feasting table.
- Kelsey and Summer made it all go smoothly.
- And the wine in the vineyard
- and the spring beauty.
- and seeing old friends anew.
- Sarah rested
- and the sun set, waiting our return.
