This time, a brief video of our nightly bathing bird. When we see him doing his nightly ablution we know it between 5 and 6 PM (17:00 and 18:00). And yes, I know there is a significant amount of background noise, but you can also hear him splashing around in the water. When you live where the wind almost never stops blowing you can get so used to it that you really don’t notice it. Such is the case where we live.
Wine as a Hobby
In the past five years I have bottled over a thousand bottles of homemade wine The above is a short video of a batch during primary fermenting. What you see on the top of the must is a layer of Zante Raisins which I added to to give the wine a special “twist”. I also added some toasted oak and wine tannin to further improve it.
In 2 to 3 years this wine will rival any $25 to $35 a bottle wine I have ever tasted. All the wines I have made have been from wine kits.. I tweak the kits so the wine is what my wife and I like, and we definitely like something different in wines. If you have any questions what this is all about ask away and I will be glad to answer.
Hummingbird
Not being birders, our best guess is a female Ruby Throated Hummingbird.
Those wings move so fast!
Unidentified Insect
It looks to be a fly of some type, but search as we might, we were unable to identify it.
Looking into the Past
A mockingbird perched on the window from my great great grandparents house. Would they have looked out the same window and maybe have seen a mockingbird? Or would a bird have looked into this window and have seen them?
