A tribute to a great family member, Licorice!

Who knew what a single cat could have done to a family. Today we had the unfortunate experience of laying to rest the best cat one could ever hope for. Licorice was a special cat that loved barbie shoes, ham, getting high on cat nip, laying on jeans, and most importantly-kneading Lori's hair all night long! Licorice was special in that he had the ability to produce unique sounds and based on those sounds we knew if there was a squirrel, cat or dog, and/or a certain type of bird outside. For a long time he would announce himself as he enter a room we were already in. The following are a few photos from over the years. We love him so very much and will miss him!!!!!!

Bottling Success!!!!!

After another long year of waiting, the grapes have been smashed, fermented, aged, and now bottled!



Here is a video of the assembly line.

Here is a video of Katherine our smallest and youngest wine maker placing a label on the bottle.



Again, thanks to everyone who came out to this years bottling, you were all a big help and thanks for being apart of our 240 little babies!!!!!

Hummingbird

After years of trying to attract hummingbirds, I have finally got one coming to the feeder!!!! Here is a video!

Down in flames

We could have taken this small fire inside the Crabtree Tavern as an omen that the philadelphia flyers were not going to win friday night! The workers must have spilled the sterno causing the fire and they tried to snuff it out by putting more and more towels on it, which made more flames......

Mulch

It is that time of year again and my local place to get mulch went under, so I we had to travel a little further and it was a little more expensive. However, here is a quick video of how the mulch is dumped into the truck. It is so much better then using bags!

Ambitious goose chaser

It seems my little RC truck decided to go after something more it's size and kind! Lens is a little off sorry!

A very short video showing our firebellied newt stalking a decent size ghost shrimp to no avail. enjoy!
