I didn't take pictures again. But, we forced the boys out the door this morning and they did great picking grapes until the first bucket was full, after that it was painful to keep them working. We ended up with four buckets to put in the steam juicer.
While we were picking grapes, my Mister mowed the field, pulled the hoses from the big garden and stretched them out on the cement to get warm so he could coil them up and put them away, then he mowed the garden. We didn't plow because we're not sure if we'll be able to garden there next year when the house is being built. He did plow the neighbor's garden while I sat and visited. Our neighbor gave us some horseradish, a huge banana squash, a turkey egg, and some walnuts. It was a fruitful visit. :)
Next, I wanted to get the yard mowed, so I pulled out the rotary mower and made the boys come out to rake the grass up so the mower would catch it. It was really long and matted down, so that took awhile.
My Mister cleaned out the boat and laid the cover out to dry. We need to cover it with a more waterproof tarp this winter so we don't get water build up inside it. He also weed whacked around the driveway under the grapes.
Next up: making grape juice. I also need to clean out the black raspberry patch, but I'm not sure I'm going to get to that.

By the time we come home your boys should be pretty well trained in taking care of my yard. Can I hire them?
