'Sour' Grapes...

     While out, walking the neighborhood, the cloying, fairly, fetid, fragrance of fermented, wild-grapes, filled my nose, for the first time, this season, as the grapes have ripened and, some, fallen to the ground. Seems a touch early, to me; as in the past, one could anticipate the arrival of this, and, other seasonal-events, much later. I recall late September, into, early October being the time-frame, during which this would occur; but, as in so many other tell-tale signs that seasons, 'they are 'a changin'', this has, already, occurred. I don't see this as anything more than the poles, preparing, once again, to shift; this, possible, only, if our earth survives, long enough, for it to happen. It's interesting, to say the least. Anyway, it was a cool observation. If I notice any lil'-critters, walking, or, flying, unsteadily, I'll understand why, as their eating the berries is a bit like imbibing for them; 'fruit of the vine', after all...HICCUP!!! Just Sayin'...
