After the semester ended and the two workshops with Mors Kochanski, I took a few days to catch up on some much-needed rest.  But we were back at it yesterday with a winemaking workshop instructed by my good friend Shayne White.  He covered necessary equipment and techniques for making wine inexpensively at home, and even out of such ingredients as oak leaves.  He even brought a few bottles people had made for people to sample.

We had some snow falling the other day, but no accumulation.  I’ve got a bunch of work to do to get the gardens ready for winter, as well as clean-up from the semester and workshops.  All this, and getting ready for our hunting camp – it will be a busy week.
