The last wild grape, just before the first frost a couple of weeks ago. These aren't very tasty, and they're full of seeds, but the wild critters love them. So I let the vines ramble where they may.

Got a chance to try the wild grapes on my parents’ property. Sweeter than I expected! (My dad says he’s waiting to make sure I don’t drop dead before he tries them.) #grapes #WildGrapes #foraging
From #GreatMeadows, which might become a regular Sunday outing once again. Locust borer, Concord grapes, leopard frog, and too many colors of green in the impound. #getoutside #insect #frog #WildGrapes #AmericanLotus #nature
Well, hello taper!
I spent a lot of time on the #StruggleBus this weekend. So much negotiating ("another 500m of elevation and you can message the crew" or "see how you feel in three kilometres"). Saturday was my altitude day, 75 laps of the sledding hill. So glad I am done with the sledding hill for the season!! Sunday more distance, laps of the research farm. These grapes were ripening on the fence encircling the farm. 70% of race day kilometres and climbing over the weekend. The legs are good to go! While I am grateful for the mental and emotional preparation that laps provide, I'm looking forward to racing across actual mountains and not doing laps like a hamster on a wheel!

Wild grapes are back in full force this year! If we could only get some sun 🌞 to go with all this nourishing rain ☔️ we may have jam again!! I’ll make some gentle lavender spray to keep the stinkbugs at bay. #wildgrapes #nature #backyard
