Pretty corn. Bet it was yummy! :drool 😁
Yes ma'am it was very good 😋

Anyone here brew Kombucha or got a good resource to learn how to brew it?

Frambabe got me hooked on raspberry hibiscus kombucha. She's saving thick glass bottles and has been asking about my brew gear which I no longer use. Then tonight I was voluntold to brew some. It's all good I enjoy fermenting food stuff. Now it's time for research, to unravel the mystery of raspberry hibiscus kombucha.

Hope the goat is fine,
We are never to old to play in the rain, as a kid I was a professional puddle stomper 🥰

i got yelled at because i'd go around and make drainage channels for the puddles. i always like playing in the water. i'm also always imagining running some solar powered small pumps to bring water from the back ditch to various water features and ponds. if it weren't for so many raccoons i could probably have some froggy and toad habitat which we could really use. it would be the only way i could afford to have even a small waterfall.

@CrealCritter i shuck corn on a tailgate too. I use a board, chop both ends, shuck, it’s fast and easy.

Coffee is ready. DD and granddaughters came in yesterday evening. We’ll go to church this morning, go out to eat for lunch and they will leave for Lindale to visit friends. Then to my sisters house, they are making a quick round. Have to be back in Corpus Christi for meet the teacher on Thursday.

Got metal on one side of the roof yesterday. A friend from church brought his neighbor and they got after it. I stayed out of the way, kinda weird not to be in the middle of things. They admired the prep job I did, with the radiant barrier and 2x4 lath spaced 2 feet apart. I worked hard on that. I’ll do the front side of the house and they will be back Saturday and we’ll finish up. I’m so excited!

I was of the age 9 to 12 growing up in Alamogordo NM,
When there was a "golly washer" haha afternoon rain/ NM monsoon season
We 3 girls [mother was always at work at the bank ] would run down 1st street to, the bottom of town to White Sands Blvd-- and boy howdy di the water flood from the foot hills down. Barefoot, water rushing up to my knees we would laugh and play all the way back up to Cuba Ave and then home. Oh what fun it was,

All of the chores are done [except washing the rugs and mopping]
I set the nesting box outside of the coop. The flock can just leave the chick feed alone while I am at church. I have been playing referee keep the "vultures" away, it wears me out.
They have feed, water, shade and even though they will protest very much,
they wont die 🙄

A month of traveling, short work weeks, volunteer stuff, and holidays have me exhausted. Third cup of coffee while trying to prioritize my to do list, not that anything will get accomplished. Other than maybe burgers on the grill
