Wachusett Mt. Race

I completed the second of my mountain races this past Saturday.  I have to admit, this one was way easier then the week before.  The race was 3 miles up a state park road, and 3 miles down the back mostly on a class 4 road. The weather was perfect for running.  The views on the way up were amazing.  This onemade me feel a little bit better about signing up for the series.  I might just live after all.

Chicks

It is that time of year again.  The chicks have arrived! Once again a brooder full of chirping has been moved into the kitchen.  

This year, however, we have a different type of chicken. We have Araucana's this year (the Easter eggers).Little Man has fallen in love with one in particular and has clearly stated that "my chicken will not be eaten." 

 This one is not Little Man's, however, it has already escaped a few times and thinks it rules the roost.

Dandelion Wine

A year ago I made dandelion wine.  Everyone I told afterwords, told me dandelion wine was horrible.  I was slightly worried as it sat in the basement slowly being refined by time.

Monday we broke open our first bottle.  Not too bad for my first bottle of wine.  A little sweet and more like a cider then a wine.  I might make more some day.
