friday at messina hof winery

What a perfectly beautiful afternoon.

Had lunch at Messina Hof winery here in Bryan, TX. The weather was breath-taking, the wine was fantastic, and the food was divine.

It's still a little early, so the vines are just now beginning to yield their bounty; but it's a special kind of wondrous excitement to view the early stages of what soon will be countless glasses of happiness and glee.

It's finally feeling like spring, and I am tickled.

Despite a crazy and somewhat unnerving week--both at work and on our nation's political front--I am so lifting my ever-full glass to family, food, wine, and God's bounty revealing itself via spring's emerging blooms.
