Andrew and I took a trip to Brookview Station Winery and Goold Orchards recently -- and we came away very impressed. It's a very lovely farm, but above all the dedication to quality is evident, from the way the proprietors speak about their business to the name of their prize-winning blended rose wine, "Sunset Charlie," for their labrador retriever, Charlie. Anyone who visits this amazing family-owned orchard in Castleton, NY will enjoy a special treat -- delicious food, wine, and great company, as well as local history.

Spring encounter
In the green mossy stillness
you can hear each bee alight
and do its providential best
to further flowerlings' desires --
alone, how unfulfilled; and rightly
the small geniuses comprise
a loving network of engendered prime.
You can discover, deftly,
in the morning hour of May,
where filaments hold up their heads
listening for the purposed wing --
slyly you may spy them,
even listen as they swoop to touch
the petaled embrace of whiteness,
to reply the call bountiful of spring.
