Well hello again.

I can't believe it has been a year since I last posted. So much has happened...Daisy( our cow) is now almost 2 years old and will be able to breed this fall....soon! I am excited knowing that by next fall we should have a calf on the ground. Hoping it is a little boy so we can put him in the freezer. If she has a little female...we will try to sell her. Oh! And this coming weekend we will be welcoming 2 new little guys to the homestead. We will be taking in 2 male Alpacas. They will add to the wool production. I am excited to get them here and settled in. So the wine making has gone well.

This is the Blushing Apple in progress. So far I have made Concord grape wine....blushing apple wine and strawberry wine. Everyone who has sampled it have given great reviews. The one review that I have gotten with every batch is.." If you distilled this it would be brandy" I guess the alcohol content is a bit higher than " normal" wine. I have a freezer full of berries now, waiting for cooler weather to start a few more batches. This time it will be Elderberry and maybe blackberry. So...that's about it for here....been working and taking care of the homestead...filling the pantry with home canned goods...preparing for winter.
