At night with the window open, Lucy can hear the coyotes yipping and carrying on outside. She gets very protective and sounds so vicious with her growling and woofing. She sits facing the window listening for the coyotes. Lilly gets in on the action too.
I said a few posts back that I had ordered a Malbec wine kit. Yesterday Glen and I got it started. I know my sister is excited for this wine too 🙂
This kit is a little different from the Pinot Noir. This kit has grape skins and wood chips.
Getting the wine started is basically the same….add bentonite to warm water, pour in the magnificent juice….but then you add wood package #1.
And then you put the grape skins into a bag of cheesecloth.
and put those beautiful grape skins in the juice along with the yeast.
It looks kind of gross. No matter, it is going to be beyond fantastic when it is all done.
My umbrella cockatoo, Eva, is full of hormones! She is also a total pervert. If you have never owned a bird, let me just say that she takes care of her needs.
Glen and I ordered a mead kit. If you have never had mead, you should try it. It is very yummy. Anyway, we got the kit ordered and we were anxiously waiting for it to arrive. The kit was delivered by UPS and we were very excited. Then we opened the box……and the 12 gallon jug of honey had come open during shipment. Can you say, Oh Holy Sticky Mess!
I called Norther Brewer and they told us we could salvage what we could from what we had, but that they would ship us a new 12 gallon jug of honey. Prayers this one arrives with the lid on.
The hounds and I were outside walking around the yard looking for things we might want to take pictures of, when I accidentally took a picture. Most accidental pictures turn out to be completely awful or of nothing at all. In this picture, at least to me, Lucy looks like she is in trouble for something….or maybe she was just making sure I was still walking with her.
Like Mother Teresa, only better.

Helping you reach a better state of body and mind
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sailaway from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain
