We slowly walked the well maintained aisles, breathing in the sweet smells of the luscious green vines and the large vermilion colored grapes. Out of Napa's four hundred wineries, we chose this intimate twenty acre lot to spend our day. The cool summer breeze felt so pleasant on our necks and faces, while taking in the strong rays of the California sun. The light wind lifted Judy's straw hat into the adjacent row in which she chased after rather expeditiously. As she followed the direction of her hat along the ground, a grandiose rooster crossed her path. His comb was stunning. He paused to stare at her. His wattle mesmerized her. She recalled how the comb on roosters was meant to cool them and to attract their mates. At that very minute, she had forgotten what she was chasing after. Her eyes danced along with the ravishing features of the silky body that frolicked in front of her. His sable eyes were captivating. His nostril was so cozy to her face, it was as if he were trying to discover if the scent was of the same species. She whispered softly to him while his ear lobes perked upright. His maintail feathers were like a rainbow in which she imagined saddle backing with him throughout the abutting rows of grapes. Jackson called out for her but she ignored him. Instead, she started caressing her new found mate's blade. Her hat blew further in the distance until it was out of sight.
