LAZY SUNDAY

Nothing much to do here in Canyonville if you don't go into the casino. We sleep late, take long walks, eat, nap and eat again, then take another walk, and nap until it's time to go to bed! Sounds delightful to me. It's still a vacation.

This morning Kathe and Jim picked a bunch of wild blackberries here at the Resort. Kathe has been trying to find ripe berries everyplace we go, but this is the first time she found some. They picked and froze a bunch for a cobbler or pie, so she's a happy camper.

After lunch today Jim and Kathe decided to find a local winery and taste some wine.

They found a small winery in Canyonville called Falk Estates that was open today. It's been hard to find wineries that are open during the pandemic but they have found a few on the trip in Washington and Oregon. The Falk family bought a ranch in 1960 which has grown to more than 500 acres. In 1914 the family decided to plant a nine acre vineyard, and in 2016 they had their first harvest. The family works together to make wine. Last year, just as their tasting room was completed, it burned down. Tasting is now done in the living room of their beautiful ranch home along a creek. Here are a couple of pictures of the deck and outdoor areas. They enjoyed the unique wines and came home with 6 bottles.
