- Monday, 8/11: Cherry Wine Goes Bonkers
- We ate an oatmeal breakfast filled with food from our property, such as pecan nuts, black raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, and Empire apples from our tree.
- Bill left for his apartment by mid-afternoon.
- The cherry wine yeast is fizzing along very nicely. A citrusy yeast aroma fills the house and a fizzing sound is heard outside of the closed pantry door. Specific gravity for the day was: Batch 1, 1.066, and Batch 2, 1.067 at around noon; Batch 1, 1.054, and Batch 2, 1.056 at about 11 p.m.
- Mary checked for hornworms in the far garden and found 15 hornworm eggs, two cucumber beetles, one army worm, and one large snail.
- I picked 16 apples off the ground under the Empire tree and threw away four of these apples.
- A thunderstorm rolled through around midnight, giving us a brief bout of strong winds and a third inch of rain. We receive regular rains this summer, which is perfect for all growing green things.
