I didn't have my photos of the muscadines I picked. Today I worked on starting some wine. Pictures of it will come later. But to give you an idea of how to begin. I smushed up the muscadines and put in some crocks that are about a half gallon size. I added a cup of water to each crock along with a cup of sugar and stir well. Covered them with clean pantyhose and put on the top of my refrigerator to ferment. 

Once they go through the first ferment cycle, I sill strain and put juice back in crocks with more sugar and let it ferment again.

While Sonny was recovering from surgery I bought a Shark steam mop and man do I love this thing. It makes it so much easier to mop floors now.
It is well worth the money spent. 

Also while Sonny was recovering I slept on our sofa for about 3 weeks. The last night on the sofa, I got up while still dark and walked to shut the bedroom door so I wouldn't wake him when I turned on lights. I ran into our laundry room door which has a stop in it to keep it open so I blacked my eye and made a knot and huge bruise on my boob. Thankfully the bruising is gone now but still have the knot. 
Really at first it looked like eye shadow.

I guess I'm getting old as I tend to wander around at night which is not good. While taking Kinzey out early one morning, I saw this little critter. 
At first I thought it was a bird nest, but it happened to be a little wren. See him in the faux grass on the left side of photo. I had been watching a large spider but the rains had washed it out so found this cutie instead. 

I will be back later next week and will start posting photos of junk journals I'm in the process of making. I'm having so much fun making such a mess.
