Some people can walk into a wreck of a house and see it finished as a mansion. Others can take a troubled kid and turn him around.
As a writer I can massage bad writing into better writing.
Others see only the wreck, the bad kid or the terrible writing.
On my walk from the village to the house, I saw that all the vineyards have been cut back to a height that doesn't reach my knees. They are twisted and ugly.
However, by October they will be taller than I am ladened with lush purple grapes ready to be hand picked and turned into the good wine I may sip with lunch at any local restaurant.
It comes down to potential looking not just what one sees on the outside, but what is hidden inside.

So true. You write very visually and I always see what your words describe. I saw you walking from the village and the vineyards trimmed back.
It sounds as though you live in a lovely place.
Have a great spring. We're still waiting here in Ohio.
