WALKING AND WINE A recent study found the average American walks about 900 miles per year. Another study found Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of WINE a year. That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon.

I was setting in the living room this afternoon and these came down the road. Then they came up into the yard. On their way to the orchard to clean up a few of the apples that have fallen.

The wife was a busy little girl this afternoon and evening. She picked close to 35 pounds of apricots. For some reason they are going bad on the tree. So we had to pick them kinda green. We are going to have to work them up as they ripen. Then we moved over to the gooseberries...

It's a little late to be asking this but has anyone ever made this kit. It is the first kit that I have made. There should be some age on this one before it is drank. There is a storybehindthis. It involves my son getting married someday. It should a couple of years on it at least before it is...

I had to clean out the freezer to make room for a turkey. I took out some deer meat to make some jerky and also some cranberries. I don't have the yeast that my recipe calls for. ItisLalvin K-1 or equivalent. I don't know what the equivalent would be. I was wondering if someone could help me...

We spring forward this weekend everyone. It surely must be getting close to spring (then why is it snowing again?). Don't forget to change your clocks.

I racked the high bush cranberry today. I don't know if this stuff is every going to be fit to drink. It has the awfulness nose to it. The taste is not much better. I don'tknow if back sweetening it will help or not. It will have to be a lot sweeter then I likemy wine to be. I kinda...

I made a wine out of home grown grapes. I presume they were concord grapes. The wine appeared to be clear so I didn't use any fining with it. This is probably where my problem started. I bottled it a couple of weeks ago and put it in my storage area. I wasn't paying enough attention to the...

I bottled the cherry wine Thursday and labeled it this evening. I didn't do anything fancy on the label. I just need to know what it is down the road. WhenI was getting more rhubarb out, I found the high bush cranberries. I got then in the primary waiting on some yeast right now. I...

When is it time to pick highbush cranberries? We had a frost a couple of weeks ago and they are soft now. Some are drying up. I don't know if that would hurt them or not. I would think you could use them dry. I have away let the birds pick them so I don't know when to pick them. There...

I have very limited experience with birdhouse gourds. About the same experience levelthat I am with wine making. I have only grownbirdhouse gourdone other time. They normally put on so many you just about have a life time supply. We have two grandsons nowand I thought it would be fun to make...

After 2 weeks of hot, cloudy and rainy weather. The sun would come out long enough to fire up a storm. The cold front decided to move on. It left behind some great weather. Temps in the up 70's and low humidity. It made you to want to get backoutside again. Just about had to make hay in the...
