Welllllll ... Neither , just sayin' . We bought this land in '01 I
think it
was , with the intent of retiring here . What I didn't know then was
that retirin' is more work than workin' ! The big difference is that
this is all
stuff I want to do , so it's not really work . Like this afternoon ,
I just
made a couple of lead weights to replace the lost ones for a triple
beam scale I was given . I now know that a gallon ziplock bag of
frozen blackberries weighs almost exactly 4.5 lbs . Just right to
make a gallon of
medium-bodied wine grin . Guess where I picked the berries bigger
grin ?
And it looks like we'll get a bumper crop of muscadines this year
too ...

Well, THAT just got a Pavlovian response! Hope you get a chance to
post pics

I just started a batch of muscadine wine , from berries my neighbor picked
last fall . He gave me a couple of 1 gallon freezer baggies last winter
because he needed more room for venison ... and I ended up with some of that
too because of lack of freezer space .
I sure love living out here , got some of the best neighbors I've ever had
..
