To Bee or not to Bee
If your on my blog, you know I am a Mead Brewer, and the main ingredient in Mead is Honey, so my dream of having my some honey bee's has been a long term dream for years, and this Valentines Day my Honey (AKA Sarah Jill) gave me my first starter hive in the form of a Honey Hive Deep Starter set. .....

From The Teat To The Bowl
For Fathers Day this year Sarah Jill and the boys got me a ice cream machine. It’s one of those really nice ones with wood grain outsides and was perfect for a father who likes to cook and host. So immediately I put it to the test and made everyone a nice mixture with the vanilla packet it came with. Added a few of my own ingredients to spice it up and the boys loved it. I sent a bowl to my neighbors to show hospitality in my neighborhood and it was a hit.

Chickens and Quail oh my
Every one is on quarantine, since I’m not a gamer dad who can play video games with all my boys all day I take my wife’s advice and we do old school things, like building a chicken coop and buying some little chic’s for the boys to spend time with
Yard Camping 101
When you haven’t been camping in a few years you got to make sure the equipment is still good to go. So me and the boys got it all out and set it up in the yard, which at this time is perfect because everyone is bored.
