During this time California, where we are from, is very warm. You can even see that green grass and trees start turning yellow due to excessive heat and lack of water.

Nevertheless, the land was already covered with fresh green blanket, and the whole area looked amazing. This was more than enough to enjoy the visit to Arrington Vineyards in Tennessee.
