Kombucha

 I have been brewing kombucha for weeks and today I poured my first bottles. Kombucha is a fermented tea that is good for just about everything that ails you. While we waited for mine to ferment we have been buying it in the store to drink.

I tried growing my own mother from a jar of tea. When I failed or just grew impatient I ordered one from Amazon. Who knew you could order a mother from Amazon right?

I didn't think Mr b. would be on board as it has a strong vinegar taste but he may like it more than I do. We each have a half cup of it first thing every morning. 

Once in the bottles they need a couple of days to carbonate.  I made these blueberry.

I am enjoying this experiment like the sourdough I maintain.

Are you crying?

 We pulled our camper to North Dakota for a week where we got to watch our two youngest granddaughters play ball. While we were having a discussion on sports I told them "There is no crying in baseball."

We really had fun with the movie lines from A League Of Their Own. Tom Hanks did a great job. "Zip it Doris!" may have been our favorite.

pink

 

This has been the most flowers my Weigela bush has ever had.

It is years and years old and has been a bit of a struggle for it but I'm glad we both hung in there.

I put my North Dakota rhubarb to good use yesterday.

And that's all the pink I have to show you today. I love pink don't you?
