I go through about a half gallon of tea each day by myself. This is better than the Pepsi I used to drink 2 liters of each day. Maybe by the time I’m grown up, I’ll get around to drinking more water than anything else. Maybe. I thought I had the best recipe for cold…
Part of this morning was spent working on the vineyard. We have eight grape vines planted, mulched and watered. Plus, there is one that might not survive so it has been granted a private space. This is one of our farm projects. I stopped to see how things were coming with the vineyard and realized…
Two of the Chicklets. Still so small. Maroochy has been pacing the fence of the pen for a couple of days. I mentioned to MM that I think she’s ready to go back with the other ladies. But, I needed her to teach the Chicklets how to roost. So, this evening as I assisted them…
Overcast and damp on the farm this morning. Oh, how we need the rain! Praying that there is no bad storms coming with this. I was able to transplant 46 sweet potato plants on Saturday. Along with that I put in 2 beds of onion sets and 1 bed of garlic. MM and assistants were…
Good mornin’, y’all. It’s kinda cool this fine morning on the farm. Maroochy and the Chicklets are getting along real nice. I turned at one point yesterday and caught one of the Chicklets hitching a ride on mama’s back. 🙂 Even if I’d had a camera, I wouldn’t have been quick enough to catch the…
Much to my surprise and joy, one of the grape vines we planted last year has survived and has leafed out! Whoo!! I had resigned myself to having lost them all after the late freeze. Finding that one vine helped motivate me while working on getting the vineyard cleared and prepped for new vines. 🙂…
Maroochy and the Chicklets have adjusted to their new digs. I found a purple iris that had bloomed even though Sweet Pea had chewed on it. I also found where she has been sleeping in my flower bed. 🙁 Thankfully, Bear let us know about our first copperhead of the season. MM and DJ dispatched…
Looky here, looky here… Right here is something good. 🙂 See that, it’s yummy! Maroochy and the Chicklets have moved to a new location. They are now where they can explore the grass, find some dirt to bathe in, and learn more about how to survive. Mama is doing a good job of teaching them…
While at the used book store, I came across a book titled “Bible Wines or Laws of Fermentation and Wines of the Ancients”. It looked interesting so I brought it home and have begun to read it. The original thesis was written prior to 1871 and has some amazing information in it. I am now…
