AHA! TODAY IS THE BIRTHDAY of that horse-loving man who mows the lawn here where I live! I can't tell you, Dear Reader, how tickled I was to find a nice bottle of wine from South Africa with a DRAFT HORSE upon its label! What are the odds?!

"In the farthest flung corners of the Cape lie gnarly, old, national treasures--ancient vines once farmed with Percheron draft horses, both now a rare breed."


This yard man of mine, he's a rare breed as well!
(Here's to a happy birthday!)
