The Vineyard

When I was a kid, I dreamt of having an orchard. I wanted to own a vast land where I can grow different kind of fruit bearing trees/plants. I remember during summer, I planted watermelons and melons in our backyard. Unfortunately it didn't last long (I over watered it haha). It was one of my happiest summer activity. I may not have successfully grown one but I am fulfilled with my achievement to grow it from a seed to a thumb size plant. So I told myself that one day, I'm gonna have an orchard of my own.

Fast forward to present, I still don't have an orchard or a vast land. But the dream is still there. I still wanted to fulfill that... someday.
And then I happen to see a vineyard that's open to public visitation. I've always wanted to try grape picking. So I didn't pass the chance to experience it. We travelled up north and arrived there early in the morning. We were the first ones to arrive at the vineyard. I didn't waste any time and grabbed a basket and a scissor for the grape picking session. It was full of hanging grapes ready for picking. More than the fruit (which is one of my favorite), I also enjoyed the experience. It made me more motivated to work hard and save for my dream orchard.
