View attachment 1999408 It’s official. I have just made elderberry syrup to prevent and/or treat cold and flu.

I’ve made medicine. And it smells like old gym socks in the house.

Is that a quinine smell?

And I thought cold medicine smelled like natural uncooked honey...

Tornadoes & 80mph wind gusts down here.

No wind here so it doesn’t feel too bad.

So just baked my own birthday cake . Wife will frost it . German chocolate . Love that frosting . I think I have a hen wanting to set . Hmm might let her since I have eggs in the incubator . A real hen to raise them is a plus .
