Shimmering Diamonds

There’s a chicken wire fence around the still and a close look shows it’s been in use a long time.

They started distilling over 600 years ago, although that one doesn’t look quite that old.

I’m fabricating a decent airlock for the top of my gallon ‘honey wine jug. When I get everything ready I’ll take photos and document the whole thing, from making the wine, to bottling the wine to getting a chance to sit down and quaff a glass (or three!)

[Soaring Feather]

Beautiful picture, lovely poem. Thank You.

[Lady Jag]

Cool! Another book in the making!

Give us fair warning when you're ready to do the tasting. I bet a few of us would feel priviledged to toast along with you and your still.

Somebody's cat needs brakes.

” Somebody’s cat needs brakes.”

Yes, or you could end up with a cat-ass-trophy!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Poor kitty....smack!

[Lady Jag]

She swears she did it on purpose. She ALWAYS claims she did it on purpose.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Of course.....I can see that she slid on purpose and then looked around to tell you she did it on purpose. LOL!

[Lady Jag]

Cats are such wicked attention-getters they will resort to breath-taking drama just to get you to look at their butts.

No more Knuts! Polar bear proliferation is completely out of control in Germany. First there was Knut at the Berlin Zoo, then Flocke at the Tiergarten Nuernberg and now Wilbaer and his dangling tongue at the Wilhelma Zoo in Stuttgart. God help us.

On her last limb: Allison, an Atlantic Green sea turtle missing three of her four flippers, swims in a holding tank at Sea Turtle Inc. in South Padre Island, Texas. Tourists found her two years ago and brought her to the hospital, which wants to make her the first sea turtle fitted with a prosthetic flipper before returning her to the wild.

New leopard spotted: Marwell Zoological Park in Winchester, England, is on full whisker alert as Ascha's cub gets her first breath of fresh air after three months in her mother's den. Mom and cub are among about 200 Amur leopards in captivity. There are less than 35 in the wild.

Screech therapy: One minute this neotropical screech owlet is happily hooting in its tree nest, the next it's on the ground amid pieces of rotted branch. Fortunately somebody scooped up the baby and took it to the Endangered Wildlife Rescue Center near Alajuela, Costa Rica, where it has become quite attached to a lump of wood.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Poor cat....the indignity of it all!!

The star-spangled bunker: On George Washington's birthday, Spc. Evan Shisler hangs American flags on a barrier inside Lion's Den patrol base at Radwaniyah, Iraq.

[Soaring Feather]

OMGOSH, HILARIOUS!

[Soaring Feather]

No more Knuts!

Well, I guess we don’t have to worry about extinction of the species then do we?

So sweet.

Screech therapy:

Awwww, poor little owl. Must have been scared to death as the branch let go.
