Whispers Among the Vines: Echoes of Legacy

I must extend my sincerest apologies for the unexpected silence from my end these past two weeks. Life, with its unpredictable ebb and flow, required me to step back into the whirlwind of work after a brief hiatus. The transition back has been both rewarding and demanding, leaving little room for writing and doing anything creative. That being said, this is the @codywanbingoingo with prompt: Drinks. I hope you like it.

As the first light of dawn crept over the horizon, it cast a golden glow over Kenobi Vineyards, revealing a landscape at once haunting and beautiful. The vineyard, sprawling across rolling hills, was a patchwork of verdant growth and neglect. Ancient vines, their roots deeply entwined with the soil's history, stretched towards the sky with a weary resilience, their leaves tinged with the struggle of seasons past. These guardians of the land, once meticulously tended, now bore the marks of time's indifference, their supports weathered and leaning, like weary soldiers after a long battle.

The trellises, designed to cradle burgeoning life, stood fractured and forgotten, their wooden bones bleached by the sun, a stark reminder of the care that had once flourished here. Stone walls, constructed with the painstaking effort of generations, crumbled in places, surrendering to the relentless advance of nature as wildflowers and ivy claimed them as their own. The beauty of the vineyard was undeniable, yet each breathtaking view was marred by evidence of decay, the land crying out for a steward's touch.

Amidst this beauty and disrepair, the winery buildings themselves told a story of faded glory. The main house, with its once-proud facade, now showed cracks and peeling paint, the windows reflecting the morning light in a mosaic of hope and desolation. Nearby, the barn and fermentation rooms, the heart of the vineyard's operations, stood silent, their doors hanging open, revealing shadows that spoke of abandoned crafts and empty barrels.

The air, heavy with the scent of earth and vine, carried whispers of the vineyard's past splendor, mingling with a tangible sense of loss. Dew clung to spiderwebs strung like delicate lace between the vines, sparkling in the sunlight as if to highlight the beauty that persisted in the face of neglect. The ground, parched and cracked, thirsted for attention, a stark canvas awaiting the touch of rain or the gentle care of a gardener's hand.

In this place where time seemed to stand still, the wild and the cultivated converged, creating a landscape that was as compelling as it was heartrending. The vineyard, in its state of serene desolation, stood as a testament to the cycles of growth and decline, a mirror to the natural world's enduring struggle and resilience. It was a portrait of potential left untapped, a dream suspended in the golden morning light, waiting for the moment of renewal to breathe life back into its veins.

As the sun climbed higher, its rays piercing through the morning mist, Obi-Wan Kenobi made his solitary way along the narrow paths that wound through the heart of Kenobi Vineyards. Each step carried the weight of centuries, the legacy of his family pressing down upon him with a force that was almost palpable. The vines, ancient and gnarled, seemed to lean towards him as he passed, like old friends reaching out for comfort or perhaps offering their silent support.

Obi-Wan paused, his gaze lingering on a particularly old vine that twisted around its trellis in an intricate dance of life and survival. His hand hovered over a cluster of grapes, not yet ripe, but full of promise. The touch of the morning dew against his skin was a bittersweet reminder of the vineyard's needs—needs that had grown increasingly difficult to meet. 

"It's not just the land that's parched," he murmured to himself, his voice barely louder than a whisper, lost amidst the symphony of nature that surrounded him. His words were an acknowledgment of his own inner drought, a reflection of the loneliness that had settled in his heart since he had taken on the responsibility of the vineyard.

The burden of the vineyard's future was a constant companion, an ever-present shadow that followed him through the rows of vines. Obi-Wan couldn't help but feel the vineyard's decline was a reflection of his own inadequacies. "I promised you I'd keep this place alive," he whispered, not to the vine but to the memory of his ancestors, those who had cultivated these lands into prosperity. The wind, picking up slightly, seemed to carry his words away, an offering to those who had walked these paths before him.

As he continued his walk, Obi-Wan's thoughts drifted to the upcoming visit from the wine critic, Cody. The man's reputation preceded him, known for his discerning palate and the power his words held over the fate of wineries. The prospect of Cody's visit was a double-edged sword; it held the potential for salvation or the final nail in the coffin for Kenobi Vineyards.

Reaching the edge of the property, Obi-Wan stood overlooking the valley below, the view a tapestry of wild beauty and cultivated order. The vineyard's struggles seemed insignificant against the backdrop of the sprawling landscape, yet to Obi-Wan, they were the world.

"I need to show him the soul of this place, not just the wine," Obi-Wan resolved, his voice stronger now, carrying a new edge of determination. The vineyard was more than just land and vines; it was a legacy of love, resilience, and the unbreakable bond between the earth and those who tend it.

Turning back towards the heart of the vineyard, Obi-Wan's stride carried a renewed purpose. The visit from Cody was an opportunity, perhaps the last he would have, to turn the tide. As he made his way back, the vineyard seemed to respond to his resolve, the air charged with a sense of anticipation.

The rest of the morning passed in a blur of activity. Obi-Wan lost himself in the work, his hands moving with practiced ease as he tended to the vines, each gesture a silent prayer for the future. The physical labor was grounding, a reminder that, despite the uncertainty that lay ahead, there was always work to be done, always hope to be found in the rhythm of the vineyard.

As the day waned and the time of Cody's arrival drew near, Obi-Wan took a moment to stand once again at the overlook, watching as the setting sun painted the sky in shades of fire and gold. The beauty of the moment was a poignant reminder of the vineyard's potential, its capacity for renewal and growth.

"This is your moment, Kenobi," he whispered to himself, the words a vow to the land, to his family, and to his own weary heart. "It's time to show them what we're made of."

With the shadows lengthening and the first stars beginning to twinkle in the evening sky, Obi-Wan turned and made his way back to the house to greet his guest. The fate of Kenobi Vineyards hung in the balance, but for the first time in a long while, Obi-Wan felt a flicker of hope, a spark that suggested that perhaps, just perhaps, the best chapters of their story were yet to be written.

**** 

The tranquility of Kenobi Vineyards was abruptly punctuated by the sound of an approaching vehicle, its engine's growl a stark contrast to the peaceful chirps and whispers of the countryside. A sleek, modern car wound its way along the vineyard's access road, dust billowing in its wake like a herald announcing the arrival of something—or someone—significant. The car's metallic surface glittered under the fading sunlight, a beacon of the outside world intruding upon the timeless beauty of the vineyard.

Obi-Wan, standing near the main house, watched the car's approach with a mixture of anticipation and apprehension. The arrival of Cody was like the first drop of rain before a storm, charged with the potential to either nourish the land or ravage it completely. Obi-Wan's heart beat a tense rhythm, echoing the uneven pace of his thoughts. He was acutely aware that the fate of Kenobi Vineyards rested on the impression it would make on this one man.

As the car came to a halt, the door opened, and Cody stepped out. He was every bit the figure Obi-Wan had imagined: tall, with an authoritative presence that seemed to command the space around him. His eyes, sharp and discerning, took in the surroundings with a critical gaze that missed nothing. The setting sun cast long shadows that played across his features, giving him an aura of mystery and power.

For a moment, Obi-Wan felt as if the vineyard itself held its breath, the very air charged with tension. He stepped forward, extending a hand in greeting. "Cody, welcome to Kenobi Vineyards," he said, his voice steady despite the turmoil inside him.

Cody's handshake was firm, his grip conveying a confidence that Obi-Wan both envied and admired. "Mr. Kenobi," Cody acknowledged, his voice carrying a hint of curiosity. "I've heard much about your vineyard. I'm eager to see if it lives up to its reputation."

As they walked toward the main house, Obi-Wan felt Cody's gaze sweeping over the vineyard, missing none of the beauty nor the disrepair. Obi-Wan found himself wondering what Cody saw when he looked at the vineyard. Did he see a lost cause, or could he perceive the potential that Obi-Wan believed in so fiercely?

The silence between them was filled with unspoken questions and judgments. Obi-Wan led Cody to a small patio overlooking the vineyard, where the last light of day gave the vines a soft, ethereal glow. He gestured for Cody to take a seat, while he fetched a bottle of their best vintage.

Pouring the wine with hands that betrayed none of his inner nervousness, Obi-Wan offered Cody a glass. "This is one of our finest vintages," he said, his voice infused with a pride that came from years of dedication. "I hope it speaks for itself."

Cody accepted the glass, his expression inscrutable as he swirled the wine, observing its color against the backdrop of the setting sun. He took a sip, closing his eyes briefly as if to fully concentrate on the flavors. Obi-Wan watched him, searching for any sign of approval or disapproval.

Finally, Cody opened his eyes, and Obi-Wan felt as if the entire vineyard waited on his verdict. "There's a complexity here... a depth that I didn't expect," Cody admitted, his voice thoughtful. "It's evident that care went into its making."

The words felt like a reprieve to Obi-Wan, a small crack in the storm clouds that had gathered over Kenobi Vineyards. He allowed himself a cautious optimism, aware that this was only the beginning of what he hoped would be a turning point for the vineyard.

As the evening wore on, the conversation between Obi-Wan and Cody delved deeper into the intricacies of wine making, the challenges of maintaining a vineyard, and the vision Obi-Wan held for the future. With each shared bottle and story, the initial tension began to dissipate, replaced by a budding respect and understanding.

Obi-Wan realized that Cody, despite his formidable reputation, was driven by a genuine passion for wine and its creation. And Cody, in turn, seemed to recognize the dedication and love Obi-Wan had for Kenobi Vineyards. The evening, which had begun with the weight of judgment, slowly transformed into an exchange between two men who, despite their different paths, shared a common reverence for the art of wine.

As Cody left, promising to return the next day for a full tour, Obi-Wan felt a cautious hope blooming in his chest. The visit had not been the immediate salvation he had dreamt of, but it had opened a door, a possibility for change and renewal. Standing alone under the starlit sky, Obi-Wan allowed himself to believe that Kenobi Vineyards might yet find its way back to life, guided by hands both old and new.

***** 

The morning sun bathed Kenobi Vineyards in a warm, golden light, promising a day of revelations and perhaps, redemption. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Cody embarked on the tour of the vineyard, the air between them filled with an electric mix of anticipation and underlying skepticism.

Obi-Wan led the way, his stride purposeful yet weighed down by the gravity of what was at stake. Cody followed, his eyes sharp and assessing, missing none of the vineyard's flaws nor its hidden gems. The beauty of the morning could not fully mask the signs of neglect that had crept over the land, like ivy over an abandoned ruin.

"As you can see, the vineyard has seen better days," Obi-Wan began, his voice carrying a hint of resignation. "But beneath the overgrowth and decay, there's a legacy of quality and dedication to the craft of winemaking."

Cody's gaze lingered on a section of vineyard where the vines were particularly overgrown. "I can see the potential," he admitted, though his tone remained noncommittal. "But potential alone doesn't produce quality wine. It takes skill, dedication, and considerable investment."

Obi-Wan nodded, the weight of Cody's words settling heavily upon him. "Of course, you're right. Let me show you something that might give you a better understanding of what we're capable of here." He led Cody to an older section of the vineyard, where the vines seemed to stand a bit taller, their leaves a deeper shade of green.

"These vines were planted by my great-grandfather," Obi-Wan explained, his hand brushing against the rough bark of the nearest vine. "They're some of the oldest on the property, and they produce our most distinctive grapes. The wine they yield..." He paused, searching for the right words. "It's not just a drink. It's a piece of history, a testament to the love and care that my family has poured into this land for generations."

Cody listened, his expression softening slightly. It was clear that Obi-Wan's words had struck a chord, reminding him that wine was more than a commodity—it was a story, a legacy that connected the past to the present.

As they continued the tour, Obi-Wan shared more about the unique aspects of their wine-making process, from the careful selection of grapes to the traditional methods they still employed in fermentation and aging. With each detail, he wove a narrative of dedication and passion, a narrative that seemed to slowly chip away at Cody's initial skepticism.

At one point, Obi-Wan paused beside a small, seemingly insignificant tool shed. "This," he said, unlocking the door, "is where some of our most important work happens." Inside, the shed was filled with an array of barrels, each marked with dates and notes in a meticulous hand.

"These barrels contain experimental blends, my attempts to capture the essence of Kenobi Vineyards in a bottle. Some of them are failures, but others..." He trailed off, selecting a bottle from a nearby shelf. "This one, for example, is something I'm particularly proud of. It's not perfect, but it represents a step toward the future I envision for this vineyard."

Cody watched as Obi-Wan carefully opened the bottle and poured a small amount into two glasses. The act was a gesture of vulnerability, an offering of hope and a request for understanding.

Tasting the wine, Cody's expression was inscrutable for a moment before he nodded slowly. "This is good," he conceded, and Obi-Wan could hear the genuine surprise in his voice. "It's bold, innovative even. It speaks to a level of creativity and risk-taking that's commendable."

The acknowledgment was a balm to Obi-Wan's anxious heart. For the first time since Cody's arrival, he allowed himself to believe that the vineyard's story might not end in decline and obscurity.

As they made their way back to the main house, the atmosphere between them had shifted. The skepticism and desperation that had marked the start of the tour had given way to a cautious optimism. There was a sense of shared understanding, a recognition that beneath the vineyard's disrepair lay a foundation of strength and potential.

"This place," Cody said, pausing to look over the expanse of vines basking in the sunlight, "it has character. And your wine..." He glanced at Obi-Wan, a newfound respect in his gaze. "It has soul. That's something you can't manufacture. It's born from the land and the hands that tend it."

Obi-Wan met Cody's gaze, feeling a surge of pride and determination. "Thank you," he replied, the words a simple but profound acknowledgment of the journey ahead. "With the right care and effort, I believe we can restore Kenobi Vineyards to its former glory, and perhaps, even surpass it."

In the cool, dimly lit interior of the fermentation room, the air was thick with the scent of aging wine and oak. It was here, surrounded by the tangible results of his family’s legacy, that Obi-Wan chose to share the depth of his connection to winemaking and the vineyard itself. The walls, lined with barrels, seemed to listen, silent witnesses to this moment of raw honesty.

Obi-Wan ran his hand along the grain of a nearby barrel, his touch gentle, almost reverent. "Each of these barrels," he began, his voice echoing slightly in the quiet space, "contains more than just wine. They hold stories, years of struggle, moments of triumph, and, yes, even times of failure."

Cody, leaning against a sturdy, aged workbench, watched Obi-Wan closely, sensing the shift in the air, the way the room seemed to close in, focusing all attention on the man before him.

"My passion for winemaking," Obi-Wan continued, pausing to select a bottle from a nearby rack, "isn't just about the craft itself. It's about what it represents—continuity, the passing of knowledge from one generation to the next, the bond between the land and our family." He uncorked the bottle with practiced ease, pouring the rich, dark liquid into two glasses. "But I fear," he admitted, handing a glass to Cody, "that I might be the end of that line."

The admission hung in the air between them, a confession of vulnerability that Obi-Wan rarely allowed himself to show. Cody accepted the glass, his gaze now softened, understanding the weight of Obi-Wan's words.

"Why do you fear that?" Cody asked, the question voiced with genuine curiosity and a hint of concern.

Obi-Wan took a sip of his wine, the action giving him a moment to gather his thoughts. "Because despite my efforts, I can't seem to overcome the challenges we face. The market is changing, and our vineyard... we're struggling to keep up. I worry that I won't be able to preserve this legacy, that I'll be the one under whose watch it all falls apart."

Cody listened, his expression thoughtful, the earlier skepticism replaced by a dawning comprehension of the personal stakes involved for Obi-Wan. "But you're fighting," Cody observed, "not just for the survival of the vineyard, but for something much more personal."

"Yes," Obi-Wan acknowledged, the word laced with a mixture of determination and resignation. "This vineyard is a part of me. To see it fail would be like losing a part of myself. But it's more than that. It's about honoring those who came before me, not letting their hard work and sacrifices be in vain."

The room seemed to close in around them, the air charged with the weight of Obi-Wan's fears and the intensity of his passion. Cody, moved by the depth of Obi-Wan's commitment, found himself reevaluating his initial impressions of both the man and the vineyard.

"Obi-Wan," Cody said, his voice firm, yet imbued with an unexpected warmth, "your dedication is clear, and the quality of your wine speaks for itself. The challenges you face are significant, yes, but not insurmountable."

Obi-Wan met Cody's gaze, searching for a hint of the skepticism that had marked their initial meeting. Instead, he found understanding and, perhaps, a glimmer of respect.

"Thank you, Cody," Obi-Wan replied, the tension that had coiled within him beginning to unwind. "Hearing that from someone with your expertise... it means more than you might realize."

As the day waned, casting long shadows across the vineyard, Obi-Wan and Cody found themselves seated on the worn stone bench beside the old water feature, now silent, its once cheerful babble reduced to a mere memory. The air was filled with the gentle rustle of leaves, a natural symphony that seemed to underscore the significance of their conversation.

Obi-Wan, with a slight hesitation born from years of guarding his private thoughts, began to share more of his past, the journey that had led him to this moment. "I wasn't always sure that this path was mine to walk," he admitted, his gaze fixed on the vineyard sprawling before them, bathed in the golden light of the setting sun. "There was a time when the world seemed wide open with possibilities. I dreamed of exploring, of finding my own way. But when my father passed, the reality of what this land represents... it called me back. It's a legacy of not just land and wine, but of love and resilience. How could I turn my back on that?"

Cody listened intently, his own glass of wine forgotten in his hand. There was a depth to Obi-Wan's words, a sincerity that resonated with something deep within him. "I understand the weight of legacy," Cody responded, his voice softer than before. "I come from a military family. The expectation was always clear: serve with honor, uphold the family tradition. But I found my battleground in the world of wine, a different kind of challenge, yet one that's no less demanding."

Their eyes met, an unspoken acknowledgment passing between them. Here, in the quiet of the vineyard, their disparate paths had converged, revealing common ground in the pursuit of passion and the weight of expectations.

"The world of wine... it's more than a career for you, isn't it?" Obi-Wan asked, genuinely curious about the man who had, in a short time, become both a critic and an unexpected confidante.

Cody chuckled, a sound that seemed to carry with it layers of unspoken stories. "Yes, it's more. It's a quest, almost. A quest for perfection, for understanding. Each bottle tells a story, and I suppose I've become a collector of stories. But," he paused, a shadow crossing his expression, "it can be a solitary journey. The pursuit of perfection often comes at the cost of personal connections."

The confession hung between them, a shared vulnerability that bridged the gap of their previous professional distance. Obi-Wan felt a surge of empathy for Cody, recognizing the parallel loneliness in their pursuits.

"It seems we're both prisoners of our passions," Obi-Wan observed, his voice tinged with a newfound warmth. "But perhaps, in acknowledging that, we find a kind of freedom."

Cody nodded, the last rays of sunlight illuminating his features, casting them in a soft, almost ethereal light. "Perhaps you're right. And maybe, in sharing our stories, we lighten that load, even if just for a moment."

The conversation drifted then, from dreams to disappointments, from the wines they had loved to the ones that had eluded them. Each story, each shared piece of their past, wove a tapestry of understanding and respect between them. The vineyard, with its ancient vines and whispered secrets, served as the perfect backdrop for this exchange, a reminder that growth and renewal were possible, even from the deepest roots.

As the evening drew to a close, the stars began to twinkle in the velvet sky, a silent audience to the unfolding bond between two unlikely companions. The vineyard lay around them, a testament to the enduring power of land and legacy, but in that moment, it was the human connection, fragile and newly formed, that held the promise of the future.

As twilight deepened, casting a lavender hue over the sprawling expanse of Kenobi Vineyards, Obi-Wan and Cody found themselves ascending a gentle hill that offered a panoramic view of the land. The world around them was bathed in the soft afterglow of sunset, the vineyard below a quilt of shadows and fading light. Obi-Wan carried with him a bottle of the vineyard's oldest wine, its label worn but the contents within preserved, a liquid testament to the vineyard's storied past.

Reaching the summit, they paused, both men taking a moment to absorb the breathtaking vista that lay before them. The air was cool, carrying the scent of earth and growing things, the very essence of the vineyard itself. Obi-Wan uncorked the bottle with a practiced ease, the sound a soft pop in the quiet of the evening.

"This," Obi-Wan said, handing Cody a glass filled with the deep, ruby-red wine, "represents the best of what we've been. It's a bridge between the past and the future we're striving towards." His voice carried a reverence, a deep appreciation for the legacy he was part of.

Cody accepted the glass, his eyes reflecting the last rays of the setting sun. "To bridges," he toasted, the words an acknowledgment of the day's revelations and the unexpected connection that had formed between them.

As they sipped the wine, the silence that fell between them was comfortable, filled with the unspoken understanding that had grown throughout the day. The wine was exceptional, its flavors complex and layered, a testament to the skill and care that had gone into its making.

It was Cody who broke the silence, his voice thoughtful. "I've spent so much time chasing the perfect story, the perfect bottle of wine, that I've often overlooked the stories unfolding right in front of me." He paused, a wistful note in his voice. "There are friendships I've neglected, moments I've missed. It's easy to forget that the pursuit of perfection shouldn't come at the expense of living."

Obi-Wan listened, the honesty of Cody's confession striking a chord within him. "I understand," he replied, his own voice tinged with regret. "I've been so consumed with saving this vineyard, proving myself worthy of my heritage, that I've isolated myself. I've forgotten what it's like to share this passion with someone who understands."

The admission hung in the air, a shared recognition of the personal costs of their dedication. But in that recognition, there was also a sense of relief, a lightening of burdens long carried alone.

Laughter soon followed, sparked by a humorous anecdote from Cody about a particularly disastrous wine tasting event. Obi-Wan joined in, the sound mingling with the night air, a release of tension and the joy of newfound camaraderie. They shared stories of their failures and triumphs, the absurdities and the moments of grace that marked their journeys in the world of wine.

As the evening wore on, the wine flowed freely, loosening tongues and opening hearts. The stars above seemed to draw nearer, witnesses to the deepening bond between two souls brought together by fate and a shared love for the vineyard's bounty.

Sitting on that hill, overlooking the land that was so much a part of Obi-Wan, he felt a shift within himself. The vineyard was no longer just a burden to be shouldered alone; it was a legacy to be shared, a source of connection and hope.

Cody, too, seemed transformed by the experience, his earlier skepticism replaced by a genuine respect and affection for the vineyard and the man who fought so valiantly to preserve it. In the shared laughter and confessions of regret, they found not just understanding but a sense of belonging, a recognition that their paths, however different, were intertwined in the story of Kenobi Vineyards.

As the bottle emptied and the night deepened, they remained on the hill, reluctant to end the moment. The vineyard lay quiet below, a testament to the enduring power of the land and the human spirit. And for Obi-Wan and Cody, the future seemed a little brighter, the weight of their respective burdens a little lighter, shared over a bottle of wine under the vast, starlit sky.

**** 

A few days after their momentous evening on the hill, the atmosphere at Kenobi Vineyards was charged with a new energy. The sun had just begun its ascent, casting a soft, golden light over the vineyard, promising another day of renewal and hard work. Obi-Wan was in the midst of inspecting the vines, lost in thought, when Cody approached him. The crisp morning air seemed to accentuate the seriousness of Cody's demeanor, a stark contrast to the relaxed camaraderie they had shared just nights before.

"Obi-Wan," Cody began, his voice cutting through the tranquility of the morning, "I've been thinking about your vineyard, about the conversation we had the other night, about legacy and passion."

Obi-Wan straightened, turning to face him, an intuitive sense of the conversation's direction taking root within him. "Yes?" he prompted, curiosity laced with a hint of apprehension coloring his tone.

Cody took a moment, surveying the vineyard with a contemplative gaze. "I believe there's something unique here, something worth preserving. But to convince others, to truly make them see the value of Kenobi Vineyards, you'll need to do more than just maintain the status quo."

The morning's serenity seemed to hang in balance as Cody's words sank in. Obi-Wan felt a mixture of excitement and trepidation stir within him. "What do you suggest?" he asked, his interest piqued.

Cody's expression was earnest, his conviction clear. "Create a new blend," he said, the challenge implicit in his words. "Something that encapsulates the essence of this place, a wine that tells the story of Kenobi Vineyards, its past, its present, and its future."

The proposal hung between them, bold and daunting. Obi-Wan felt the weight of the challenge settle upon him, a mingling of fear and exhilaration. "That's a tall order," he admitted, the magnitude of the task not lost on him. "But if it could help save the vineyard..."

Cody nodded, a supportive firmness in his gaze. "I believe it could do more than just help. It could redefine how the world sees Kenobi Vineyards. And I'll do everything in my power to support you, to ensure this blend gets the recognition it deserves."

The promise was generous, a lifeline thrown in the midst of uncertainty. Obi-Wan felt a surge of gratitude, tempered by the enormity of the task ahead. "It won't be easy," he said, a determined glint in his eye. "But I accept your challenge. For the vineyard, for my family's legacy, I'll create something truly special."

As Cody smiled, an unspoken agreement solidified between them. This was more than just a challenge; it was an opportunity for Obi-Wan to distill the essence of his heritage into a bottle, to craft a narrative as rich and complex as the wines he so lovingly produced.

In the days that followed, Obi-Wan threw himself into the creation of the new blend with a fervor that bordered on obsession. He experimented with different grape varietals, each selection a careful consideration of flavor profiles and historical significance. The process was exhaustive, a testament to Obi-Wan's dedication and Cody's unwavering support.

Cody, for his part, was a constant presence, offering insights, encouragement, and the occasional much-needed distraction. Together, they tasted and tested, debated and deliberated, their shared goal driving them forward.

The creation of the blend became a journey of discovery, not just of the perfect combination of flavors but of themselves. Obi-Wan, in seeking to capture the essence of the vineyard, found a deeper connection to his roots, a renewed sense of purpose. Cody, witnessing Obi-Wan's passion and dedication, gained a profound respect for the art of winemaking and the stories it could tell.

The process was not without its moments of doubt and frustration. There were blends that fell short, promising starts that ended in disappointment. But with each setback, their resolve only strengthened, their bond deepened by the shared pursuit of excellence.

When the final blend was poured, a harmonious union of the vineyard's finest grapes, it was more than just a wine; it was a tribute to Kenobi Vineyards' legacy, a symbol of hope for its future. The wine was complex, embodying the rich history of the land, the resilience of its people, and the promise of renewal.

As they stood together, tasting the fruits of their labor, Obi-Wan and Cody knew that they had created something extraordinary. The blend was not just a testament to their hard work but a declaration of the vineyard's enduring spirit.

Cody's promise to use his influence loomed large, a beacon of hope in the quest to secure the vineyard's legacy. Together, they had taken the first steps toward salvation, guided by passion, perseverance, and the unbreakable bonds forged in the heart of Kenobi Vineyards.

*** 

The journey to create Kenobi Vineyards' new signature blend unfolded like a tapestry woven from threads of tension, triumph, and the deepening bond between Obi-Wan and Cody. Each day brought with it a new set of challenges, moments of discord and harmony that mirrored the complexity of the wine they sought to create.

In the early days, the vineyard buzzed with a palpable energy, as Obi-Wan and Cody embarked on their shared mission. Mornings were spent in the fields, where Obi-Wan shared his intimate knowledge of each vine, each parcel of land. Cody, with his keen analytical mind, asked probing questions, pushing Obi-Wan to consider variables he had previously overlooked. These discussions often stretched into spirited debates, their contrasting perspectives clashing and melding in equal measure.

The afternoons were reserved for the alchemy of winemaking. The winery's lab became their sanctuary, a place where science and artistry intertwined. Obi-Wan, with his deep-rooted connection to the vineyard's traditions, introduced Cody to the nuances of fermentation and aging processes that had been passed down through generations. Cody, in turn, brought a fresh perspective, suggesting innovative techniques and blending strategies that challenged Obi-Wan's conventional wisdom.

This exchange of ideas was not without its moments of frustration. There were times when Obi-Wan's attachment to tradition seemed to stifle innovation, leading to heated exchanges that echoed off the stone walls of the winery. Cody's insistence on experimentation, while well-intentioned, sometimes felt like a disregard for the vineyard's heritage. These tensions, though, were the crucible in which their partnership was forged. With each disagreement, they learned to navigate their differences, finding common ground in their shared commitment to excellence.

The breakthrough came unexpectedly, on a late afternoon tinged with the golden hues of the setting sun. A particular blend, born from a combination of intuition and meticulous calculation, revealed itself to be more than just a sum of its parts. As they tasted, the layers of flavor unfolding on their palates, Obi-Wan and Cody shared a look of quiet amazement. Here, in this glass, was the essence of Kenobi Vineyards—its past, present, and future—captured in liquid form.

The moment was transformative, a turning point that solidified their partnership. Laughter and shared stories began to fill the spaces between their work, the vineyard echoing with the signs of their camaraderie. They celebrated their victories, no matter how small, with toasts of their evolving blend, each sip a reminder of the journey they had undertaken together.

As the blend matured, so too did their relationship. The mutual respect that had been forged in the fires of creativity and conflict deepened into a genuine friendship. Obi-Wan, once wary of change, found himself inspired by Cody's passion and insight. Cody, initially skeptical of the vineyard's potential, grew to admire Obi-Wan's dedication and the rich history of the land.

The montage of their efforts, a series of snapshots capturing late nights, early mornings, and endless tastings, was a testament to their journey. The tension that had once marked their interactions gave way to a rhythm, a seamless dance of give and take that propelled them toward their goal.

When the final blend was ready, it was more than just a new product for Kenobi Vineyards. It was a symbol of transformation—a testament to the power of collaboration, the blending of tradition with innovation, and the unexpected friendship that had flourished in the pursuit of a shared dream.

In the end, the creation of the blend was not just a triumph for Kenobi Vineyards but a milestone in the lives of Obi-Wan and Cody. Together, they had crafted something extraordinary, a wine that was a reflection of their journey, imbued with the essence of the land and the unbreakable bond they had formed.

**** 

The day of Cody's departure arrived with a quiet that seemed to envelop Kenobi Vineyards, a stillness that belied the turmoil of emotions churning within Obi-Wan. As they stood facing each other, the vineyard stretching out behind them, a landscape of memories and shared efforts, the air was thick with unspoken words and the poignant realization of a chapter closing.

"I'll start on the review as soon as I get back," Cody said, his voice steady but not without a hint of the reluctance that comes with parting. His gaze lingered on Obi-Wan, as if trying to imprint the moment, the man, and the land that had unexpectedly become a significant part of his life.

Obi-Wan nodded, his throat tight with a mix of gratitude and apprehension. "Thank you, Cody. For everything," he managed to say, the words heavy with the weight of all they had shared. "Your belief in this vineyard, in me, has changed more than I can express."

A brief smile flickered across Cody's face, a silent acknowledgment of the journey they had undertaken together. "It's been an honor, Obi-Wan. This place, your wine... it's something special. I'm just glad I got to be a part of it."

As Cody turned to leave, Obi-Wan felt a keen sense of loss, a void that went beyond the professional relationship they had developed. The realization that Cody's presence had become a cornerstone of not just the vineyard's revival but of his own personal growth was stark and unbidden.

In the days that followed, the vineyard seemed quieter, the absence of Cody's steady presence a constant reminder of the void. Obi-Wan threw himself into his work, each task a distraction from the uncertainty that loomed ahead. Yet, in the quiet moments, his mind wandered to Cody, to their conversations, the laughter, and the moments of shared vulnerability.

The waiting period stretched out, each day a test of patience and hope. Obi-Wan found himself reflecting on the depth of his feelings for Cody, feelings that had evolved from professional respect to a profound connection. The realization was startling, the acknowledgment of a bond that went beyond the vineyard, touching something deep within him.

Obi-Wan's introspection was not solely focused on Cody; it also turned inward, examining the changes within himself. The experience of creating the blend, of fighting for the vineyard's future alongside Cody, had reignited a passion he hadn't realized had dimmed. Cody had not only helped to save the vineyard but had also, in a way, saved him from the isolation and burden of his legacy.

The vineyard, too, seemed to be waiting, the vines standing tall and the leaves whispering in the wind, as if in anticipation of what was to come. It was a time of transition, of endings and new beginnings, and Obi-Wan felt the weight of it all, a blend of hope and fear for the future.

When the review finally arrived, it was with a mixture of excitement and dread that Obi-Wan opened it. Cody's words leapt off the page, a testament to their efforts, praising not only the quality of the wine but the spirit and passion behind its creation. It was more than Obi-Wan had dared to hope for, a recognition of the vineyard's potential and of their journey together.

As he stood in the vineyard, the review in hand, Obi-Wan felt a sense of peace settle over him. The future was still uncertain, the challenges ahead daunting, but in that moment, there was a sense of completion, of a circle closed. Cody's departure had left a void, but it had also left Obi-Wan with a deeper understanding of himself, of his capacity for connection and change.

The vineyard thrived, bolstered by the success of the new blend and the acclaim it received. And as Obi-Wan walked among the vines, he knew that Cody's influence would linger, a part of the land and of him, a reminder of the power of collaboration, friendship, and the courage to embrace the unknown.

**** 

Several weeks had passed since Cody's review had been published, casting a newfound spotlight on Kenobi Vineyards and its exceptional new blend. The vineyard, once teetering on the edge of obscurity, now buzzed with the energy of potential and promise. In this time of burgeoning hope, Obi-Wan found himself often wandering the vineyard at dusk, his thoughts invariably drifting to Cody. The impact of Cody's words had been profound, not just on the vineyard but on Obi-Wan himself, stirring a blend of emotions and unanswered questions that lingered like the fragrance of grapes on the evening air.

It was on one such evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in strokes of pink and gold, that Cody returned. Obi-Wan, lost in thought among the vines, didn't notice his approach until he was nearly upon him. The sight of Cody, back in the vineyard, sent a jolt through him, a mix of surprise and an inexplicable sense of rightness.

"Cody," Obi-Wan began, his voice betraying his surprise. "What brings you back to Kenobi Vineyards?"

Cody's gaze held a depth of emotion that Obi-Wan hadn't seen before. "I came to see you," he said, his voice steady but imbued with an undercurrent of something more, something deeper. "Your vineyard, the wine we created, your passion... it left an impression on me, one I couldn't shake."

The confession hung between them, a tangible presence in the twilight. Obi-Wan felt a stirring within him, a hopeful blossoming at Cody's words, yet he remained silent, prompting Cody to continue.

"In writing the review, in trying to capture the essence of what you've built here, I realized something," Cody said, taking a step closer. "It wasn't just the vineyard that inspired me. It was you, Obi-Wan. Your dedication, your belief in the legacy of this place... it changed me."

The admission was like the turning of a key, unlocking something within Obi-Wan that he had dared not acknowledge even to himself. The realization of Cody's feelings, mirrored against his own, was overwhelming and yet, undeniably right.

"Cody, I—" Obi-Wan started, his own emotions surfacing, raw and unguarded.

Cody reached out, a gesture of connection that bridged the distance between them. "I don't know what the future holds," he said, his voice laced with earnestness. "But I do know that I don't want to face it without you. These past weeks, being away, it made me realize how much I've come to care for you, beyond the vineyard, beyond the wine."

The confession, so openly and honestly delivered, resonated with Obi-Wan, echoing his own unspoken feelings. The vineyard around them, with its vines and soil, had been a witness to their growing connection, a foundation upon which something deeper had been built.

"Cody, your presence here, your belief in me, in the vineyard... it's given me more than just hope for this place," Obi-Wan said, his voice imbued with a mixture of vulnerability and strength. "It's given me hope for something more, something I hadn't allowed myself to consider."

As they stood there, in the fading light, the vineyard seemed to hold its breath, a silent observer to the unfolding moment. The confession of their feelings, the acknowledgment of the bond that had formed between them, was a new beginning, a promise of possibilities yet to be explored.

Cody smiled, a genuine expression that lit up his features, dispelling the shadows of the evening. "Then let's face the future together," he said, his hand still extended, an invitation for Obi-Wan to take.

Obi-Wan reached out, his hand clasping Cody's, a physical manifestation of their emotional connection. In that touch, there was an understanding, a commitment to whatever lay ahead, forged in the heart of Kenobi Vineyards but transcending it, a blend of two souls united by passion, dedication, and now, love.

The vineyard, with its endless rows of vines and the promise of growth and renewal, stood as a testament to their journey. It was a reminder that even the most unlikely of soils could nurture something extraordinary, something lasting. Together, Obi-Wan and Cody stepped into the future, their path illuminated by the stars above, hearts full of hope and the vineyard whispering its blessings on the wind.

**** 

In the weeks following Cody's return and his heartfelt confession, Kenobi Vineyards began to flourish in a way that it hadn't for years. The impact of Cody's review, coupled with the unveiling of their collaborative wine blend, had drawn attention from far and wide. Wine enthusiasts, critics, and curious locals alike flocked to the vineyard, eager to taste the wine that had captured the heart of one of the industry's most respected figures.

Obi-Wan and Cody, now united in both their personal and professional lives, watched this transformation with a sense of awe and gratitude. The vineyard, which had once been a symbol of struggle and isolation for Obi-Wan, had become a bustling hub of activity and growth. The once quiet tasting room was now filled with the sounds of laughter and conversation, the air rich with the scent of wine being poured and enjoyed.

As they walked through the vineyard one crisp morning, the dew still fresh on the vines, Obi-Wan couldn't help but reflect on the journey that had brought them to this point. "I never imagined," he began, his voice filled with wonder, "that the vineyard could come back to life like this. It feels like we've created something new, something vibrant out of the ashes of the past."

Cody, walking beside him, squeezed Obi-Wan's hand gently. "We did," he agreed, his gaze sweeping over the rows of thriving vines. "But it's more than just the vineyard that's been reborn. We've started a new chapter, too, one that's just beginning."

The significance of Cody's words resonated deeply with Obi-Wan. The vineyard's revival was indeed a powerful metaphor for their own blossoming relationship. Each new bud on the vines, each bottle of wine that found its way into the hands of an appreciative drinker, mirrored the growth and deepening of their bond.

Their days were filled with a blend of hard work and moments of shared joy. They consulted on every decision, from the nuances of vine care to the development of new wine varieties, each step forward a testament to their combined strengths and visions. The success of the vineyard had become inseparable from the story of their partnership, a tangible representation of what they could achieve together.

The community around them took notice, drawn not only by the quality of the wine but by the story of renewal and love that had come to define Kenobi Vineyards. Obi-Wan and Cody found themselves at the center of a network of friends and supporters, their lives enriched by the connections that grew from the soil of the vineyard.

In the evenings, after the day's work was done and the last visitor had departed, they would often find themselves back on the hill overlooking the vineyard. With a bottle of their blend between them, they watched the sunset, the sky ablaze with colors that mirrored the hues of their wines.

"These moments," Cody would say, his voice soft with contentment, "they're a reminder of what's truly important. Not just the wine or the vineyard, but us, this life we're building together."

Obi-Wan, leaning into Cody's side, felt a profound sense of peace in these moments. The challenges and uncertainties of the future seemed manageable, as long as they faced them together. The vineyard, thriving under their care, was more than just a place of business; it was a home, a symbol of their love and partnership.

As the stars began to twinkle in the twilight sky, Obi-Wan and Cody knew that they had found something rare and beautiful. Kenobi Vineyards, with its rows of vines and bottles filled with the essence of the land, was a testament to their journey. It stood as a beacon of hope, resilience, and the power of love to transform the hardest of soils into a place of abundance and life.

Together, they faced the future with open hearts, ready to embrace whatever challenges and joys it might bring. Kenobi Vineyards, once on the brink of fading away, was now a symbol of their shared future, flourishing and alive with possibility.

Application of vineyard steel post in vineyard

Vineyard steel post, also known as grape stake, vineyard stake or vineyard trellis stake, is made of Q235 low carbon steel and hot-dip galvanized.

Vineyard steel post is rust-proof and therefore resistant to soil moisture and contact with fertilizers and pesticides. The service life is as long as the vineyard itself. Compared with traditional wooden posts, steel vineyard fence posts have higher strength, better fastening performance, easier installation and longer service life. They are widely used in orchards, farm grape estates or agricultural plantations to support the growth of grapes and other fruits. Best-selling in European and American markets such as Spain, France, Chile, etc.

Our steel is more durable than other similar materials and, like all steel products, is completely recyclable. Steel posts are not only the most durable grape stakes, but also the most sustainable and have the lowest environmental impact.

@thcsevoices asked: ❛ any moment i could die . ❜ (a very dramatic Camilo @ Pepa)

𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄  𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐏  𝐎𝐅  𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐑𝐒  𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄  𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 // accepting!

"You are not going to die," Pepa rolled her eyes, peeling her dramatic child off the garden wall where he slumped to plop him in some shade beneath the grape trellis. "you're going to be fine. The harvests need sunlight, Camilo. We can't hide underneath clouds and winds forever."

It was a hot number today, so really, who could blame Cam? The sunlight was beaming bright and brazen to bring some life to the patches and the greens, and encourage the corn to swivel high rather than hide in the dirt. Folk all over were fanning themselves down and carrying on just fine, though. He could certainly adapt.

Still, to attempt appeasing him, Pepa whipped out a weather-patterned wooden fan and handed it over. "Chameleons are supposed to enjoy the sun, you know. They fan out on rocks and bathe beneath the rays!"

What to Use to Support Climbing Plants

When it comes to supporting climbing plants, there are several options to consider. The choice depends on the specific needs of your plants and your personal preferences. Here are some common materials and methods used to support climbing plants: Trellis: A trellis is a popular choice for supporting climbing plants. It can be made from wood, metal, or even PVC pipes. The trellis provides a sturdy framework for the plants to climb and helps keep them upright. Lattice: Lattice panels or sheets can be attached to a wall or fence to create a support structure for climbing plants. The crisscross pattern of the lattice allows the plants to weave their way up and provides ample space for growth. Bamboo or Wooden Stakes: Bamboo or wooden stakes are versatile and affordable options for supporting climbing plants. Drive the stakes into the ground near the plants and tie the stems to the stakes using soft plant ties or twine. Tomato Cages: Tomato cages work well for supporting not only tomatoes but also other climbing plants like cucumbers or beans. These wire cages provide stability and help prevent sprawling. String or Netting: String or netting can be used to create a support system for climbing plants. Run the string or netting between stakes or attach it to a wall or fence, creating a vertical framework for the plants to grow along. Teepees or Tripods: Constructing teepees or tripods using bamboo poles or stakes is a fun and functional way to support climbing plants. Gather the poles at the top, secure them together, and spread the bottoms out to form a stable structure. Obelisks: Obelisks are decorative supports that add visual interest to the garden while providing a climbing structure for plants. They come in various materials and styles, and plants can wrap around them as they grow. Espalier: Espalier is a technique of training plants to grow flat against a wall or fence, using a series of horizontal wires or supports. This method works well for climbing plants like grapes or certain fruit trees. Fence or Wall: If you have a sturdy fence or wall, it can serve as a natural support for climbing plants. Attach the stems to the fence or use plant ties to secure them in place as they grow. Arbors or Pergolas: Arbors and pergolas are larger structures that provide both shade and support for climbing plants. They create a beautiful focal point in the garden while allowing plants to grow and intertwine with the structure. Remember to assess the specific needs of your plants and choose a support system that is appropriate for their growth habit and weight. Regularly check and adjust the ties or supports as the plants grow to ensure they are properly supported throughout the season. Read the full article

*rattles tin can* kyne thoughts ? ? spare kyne thoughts ?

One day, the world explodes. Or part of it does, at least, but it explodes. Where once was a beautiful villa there springs forth a maelstrom, a seething chaos of swirling air and lashing rain and lightning that spits with contempt. Forests, grasslands, rivers, waterfalls and gardens-- all these are consumed in an instant, torn apart by the claws of the raging storm. Its walls of furious black clouds are impenetrable. It destroys without discretion, raking its talons through clods of tilled dirt, ripping up trees, shattering glass, roaring like a wounded drake, calling the attention of all, and none may pass through the raging squalor.

"Looks like someone's angered Lorkhan's wife," remarks Clavicus Vile to Boethiah, watching from a safe distance.

Everyone, of course, is aware of Kyne's maelstrom. It’s big and violent and demanding the attention of all, so of course they notice it. Nobody, however, can quite decide whose problem it is. The general agreement is that someone should do something about it, but who?

"It can't be me," says Mara, apologetic. "It's my fault she's angry-- look what she’s done to that vineyard!-- and she scares me when she's like this."

"Let her rampage," Trinimac advises with a shrug. "She'll bluster and burn out."

"I, for one, support her," Mehrunes Dagon remarks with pleasure.

Quiet young Hircine, at the very least, tries to enter the maelstrom to soothe his mother, but he gets distracted in pursuing the rabbits that flee from the destruction.

"Not our problem," says Clavicus Vile, speaking for the padomaics, and Boethiah, gloating over the destruction of the villa (it was Auri-el's garish spring-home), agrees.

"Lorkhan," says Auri-el, only after several hours, when he's grown tired of everyone discussing the storm, "Shouldn't you go comfort your wife?"

They stand in Magnus' giant laboratory as they discuss it, and Lorkhan's perched on a ladder, scrawling runes on a gleaming orb that serves as his blueprint. "Me?" he asks, distracted. "I'm busy. Why should it be me? I won't waylay my work because my wife is having one of her tantrums! She's strong, she can mind herself."

And all the while the storm rages on. But, while the major spirits argue among one another, something strange happens: a little offshoot of Auri-el creeps towards the gale. The wall of dark cloud dwarfs it, so young and imperfect it is, but it is not daunted, nor does it balk. The winds pluck at its slender body, and the rain lashes it-- but its scales protect it from the driving water, and, as a fierce gusts rocks it, it outstretches two leathery wings, and lets itself be carried into the chaos.

As it turns out, Kyne's gale can do little to dissuade a dragon. The winds swirl around their mother, and borne on their backs, the dragon winds its way in, turning broad arcs through sheets of rain, until it's carried, like a leaf, into the eye of the storm.

The centre of the maelstrom is calm, terribly calm compared to the chaos that rages around it. In the middle, crouching over a ruined vineyard, is Kyne. She's wrapped in her cloak of feathers that shake and shiver as if in a breeze, her chin to her knees, her hands tucked into her chest. Her hair, thick with crackling lightning, drifts over her shoulders and hides her face. She is motionless and curled up; she might have seemed calm, were it not for the hell swirling around her.

She seems immersed in herself, but when the dragon finally rides into the centre of the storm, careening unsteadily into the still air, she raises her head. "Why have you come here?"she asks, voice roiling like a thundercrack.

"Greetings, monah kaan," replies the dragon, mispronouncing its words as all dragons tend to do.

"I said," says Kyne, raising her eyes to the dragon, deep-blue, bloodshot, darkened with rage, "Why have you come here? How dare Auri-el's lackey come to me, when even my husband will not brave my storm? Can it be true, that a mere worm will approach me, while someone so great and mighty as my husband does not dare to come?"

Lightning flashes around the offended spirit. The dragon, unsteady in the churning air, flutters forwards and alights on her knee.

"Yes, look at me!" Kyne spits, making no move to brush the dragon off. "You've come to gawk at the Dawn's greatest fool. Look!" she kicks at one of the ruined trellises beneath her. "Look what they have done to my wilderness-- look what they have done to me! They have tried to tame me-- and I let them! Look at these foolish grapes. They accepted a watering, thinking its love, and then they blinked and they were lashed to these wooden posts and enslaved to a horrid glass house. Look!" she tosses her head towards the small irrigation channels, now overflowing and choked with silt. "They carve up my river, and now a little rain destroys their work. Look at this atrocity. I ought to destroy it all!"

The dragon cocks its head at her.

"You've come to ask my mercy," laughs Kyne, bitterly, "Ask me to stop my storm? No! I will give you no mercy, for they deserve no mercy! I was wrong to let Mara tame my wilderness. What sort of love is that? They took my benevolence for granted, lashing me to trellises and carving me into channels, but no more! No more." She thrashes, pulling her hands tight to her chest. "Now all will be destroyed, I will kill it all!"

"Monah Kaan," interrupts the dragon politely, "Will you show me your hand?"

The request stuns the raging spirit, and she stares at her little guest with her hooded, haunted eyes. Then her fanged mouth twists into a sharp, miserable grin, and she thrusts forwards her hand.

A jagged gash runs through her palm, and more cuts stain her wrist. The tanned flesh is parted, the skin soaked with violent red that dribbles down her limb, and, deep in the wound, the dragon can spy the  glint of broken glass.

"Monah Kaan!" croons the dragon. "What happened?"

"Auri-el placed his building here," Kyne mutters, as the dragon hops onto her wrist. "How was I to know? I was hunting, running through the forest, and the forest ended-- how was I supposed to know that I would run into that hideous box of glass? I would not even be hunting here, if not at Shor's request. And he never thought to tell me. I had no way of knowing. I doubt he would even care! I was doing this for him when I was injured, and does he care? No! He’s utterly self-absorbed! Maybe when he realizes I have not brought the week's kill, and he runs low on flesh... ow!"

As she'd rambled to herself, the dragon had crept up to her hand, pressed its snout to her wound, and, with a delicacy uncharacteristic of dragons, plucked out the shard of glass. "Forgive me," it says, spitting aside the glass and then bobbing its head in an apologetic bow.

"You are the only creature that dares ask my forgiveness," Kyne says, flexing her hand.

"Tinvaak, monah." The dragon hops back onto her wrist. "Talk to me. Your anger is directed at Shor, is it not?"

"Yes." A pause. "No, that's cruel. No, it's directed at myself. I am angry at myself! I am angry that I let him lay me so low, I am angry that he's used me. I am angry that I feel used! For he cares only for his own happiness, and his own projects." She bows her head. "We used to hunt together. He used to lope with me through the endless forests, riding in the wind, and now? He locks himself away, he's fixated on that project of his, and he cares not for me. He takes it for granted that he's lashed me to the trellis and thinks he can feed me water from a canal and that I will yield him grapes. This is a poor metaphor, I do not care, I despise that I must put my feelings in words-- is the storm not enough to show my pain! To him I am not but-- but a pet dog, a hunting-hound who he can send out to collect carcasses for his, if only he lets me sleep at the edge of his bed. I am a hawk, not a hound! But he does not even care for hawks these days, only his grand plan and Magnus' newest toys."

She breaks off, voice choked, and the dragon takes her pause as an opportunity to wrench the last piece of glass from her arm. She hisses, and, to soothe her, the dragon lays its hot body over the gash, breathing warm air against her elbow.

Kyne presses her other hand to her face. "So you've tended my wounds now," she observes wryly, "But it does not matter. You think I was upset for the glass in my arm? No, I will keep raging, I will tear down every aberration of Auri-el's until they learn to respect the force they think they've tamed! You're noble, little one, but you waste your time. I refuse to be soothed. If Shor would use me as his tool of destruction, then I will destroy, I will kill, everything will be destroyed!"

The dragon raises its body from Kyne's wound, and, balancing awkwardly on her limb, hops its way up to her shoulder. "You're mistaken, monah," it says, shaking its head. "I came with no purpose."

"Everyone has a purpose."

"Perhaps you are right. If so, my purpose was to talk to you."

Kyne turns her head, staring curiously at the dragon, who now rests in the feathers that cloak her shoulder.

"Talk to me?" Kyne asks, blinking. "The only spirit who knows how to kill, the reaper of flesh from which Shor builds, hiding in a cyclone, and you want to talk? Ha!"

"This bothers you? Krosis. Forgive me. We dragons also get lonely."

"No, it doesn’t offend me. It amuses me. What is your name, little conversationalist?"

"I am Paarthurnax."

"Paarthurnax, I do not even like to kill. It makes me want to weep, and I only do it at his behest. But he does not even realize how much I suffer for him. Sometimes I wonder if he really thinks I'm happy like this. Surely he cannot be so deluded? But I want to think he loves me..."

Kyne still cradles her wounded arm to her chest, but the blood has stopped flowing, and her hair now lies flat along her back. Paarthurnax lays along her shoulder, stretching his head towards her face in a gesture of rapt attention. Comfortable as a dragon can be, he listens as she talks, rambling out her chaos of emotion.

And they talk for a long while, so long and with so much focus that neither notices when the clouds break around them, when the winds die down, and sunlight falls upon their skin.

The Plant Ladder

I call it the Herb Ladder at first because it was my intent to plant herbs in it. I have yet to harvest any herbs from it although some have been growing. Much of the problem growing herbs in it probably has to do with the extra care that must be taken when planting in such small pots.  

Plants need extra water and nutrients when they are grown in small receptacles. 

A great article that addresses successful growing of potted plants can be found here.  

When we bought our house, we inherited a lot of stuff that could be called junk or treasure, it depends on who you ask. I put aside many items that I thought were special, but didn’t quite know what I wanted to do with them yet.  

One of these ‘treasures’ was an old wooden ladder.

I decided I needed to decorate my yard with a ladder of hanging plants.  

I settled on planting herbs due to their beauty, smell, and usefulness.  

I had a picture of it in my head, but I didn’t know where to put it or how I was going to hang the pots from it. I got started anyway.

I had previously bought textured spray paint in brown and cream that I couldn’t wait to use. It was not as great as I’d hoped. The texture was difficult to apply evenly and would sometimes gum up the nozzle. The finished appearance was also not what I expected. Additionally, it peeled away in the weather. I should have just stuck with the original terra cotta finish. I don’t know what I was thinking!

Over several days I applied coats of paint to the pots. I put paper down on the floor of the garage and spaced out the pots. Every few hours, I sprayed my pots, trying to get them evenly covered with the color and texture. I had to apply many layers which ended up being very thick.  

My ten small pots used up two whole cans of paint!

Once they were finally dry, I used copper wire to make small hoops with handles, within which the pots would sit. Then I wrapped wire around the rungs of the ladder and fashioned hooks at the bottom on which the pot handles would hang. Nothing fancy, just wrapping copper into a functional shape.

I experimented with leaning the ladder against our rear patio, but I wasn’t happy with the way it looked. I finally decided on a clear area underneath our grape trellis and used paracord to tie the top of the ladder to the trellis with the ladder leaning at a slight angle. I tested the strength of the knot (one like you would use on a fishing hook) before adding my planted pots to their copper hooks.  

I varied the lengths of the hooks and tilted the handles so that the tops of the pots faced slightly forwards.  

I got a little growth that year.  

Update: The ladder is still up. It survived the trellis being blown over in a storm. It’s on the new trellis now and I’ve switched to succulents. Those are doing fairly well.
