Spring in Epeigné-les-Bois

The last week or so has seen the blossom really come out and the trees turning green. Sadly there is still widespread use of weedkillers in many of the vineyards around here – Epeigné, Francueil and Saint-Georges-sur-Cher.
I'm envious now. Spring is here, too, but we still have snow.
