The mead is nice. We made a few melomels (Fruit meads) with thimbleberries and plums from our garden, a pyment (grape mead) with some of our concord grapes and a show mead (pure honey, water & yeast).
We think your dog is a beauty too....

Thanks Misplaced, for the compliment to my root vegetable crop. That was a fun day. It was time to finally pull up all the root vegetables and see what they looked like. It's so difficult to wait, and all you can see, along the way, is a little bit of the top of the root. They were sweet and yummy!

The grilled watermelon was pretty tasty, it goes over well with only a handful of family and friends though. Some people believe it's just wrong to heat up watermelon or put anything other than salt on it. LOL
