Now that I'm wired with coffee, wondering if I should crack open a bottle of wine? It may make time go by faster?!?

I need to go make some espresso!

It is 4:34 here so still early enough for caffeine!

Now that I'm wired with coffee, wondering if I should crack open a bottle of wine? It may make time go by faster?!?

I have some hard apple cider I brewed a month ago. Seriously thinking of cracking open a bottle tonight. Apples from yard, and Apple Hill pressed juice, local honey from a gal here in town and spices. Yummy.

 

[Jessimom]

Awesome post Sally. Great links. I love your new Avy too!!!!

Well mystery chick that made it to lockdown a day late just hatched. Thats #2. I have #3 zipping. The egg that accidently went into lockdown last week has pipped. One of the two at day 24 is chirping, but no pipping.

Happy hatching everyone!!

 

[S5apiotrowski]

In honor of the hatch-a-long, I think I'll try this one!

Sounds Yummy! Doesn't get much better than home grown! The gal that won the pecan pie contest at the fair grew her own pecans!

Can I get a ROLL TIDE?

Where did you manage to find that? You'll have to let us know if it's any good.
