- Monday, 12/8: Firewood Hunting & Racking Jalapeño Wine
- Mary saw a juvenile bald eagle fly south over her head as she attended to chickens this morning. It checked her out, then turned back north and headed on.
- I split three chunks of firewood from a red oak tall stump and moved two wheelbarrow loads to the woodshed.
- I walked north hunting for standing dead trees that we can cut up for more firewood. I found a few in the woods immediately north of the machine shed and then several more further north.
- Mary made a food chart for 2026 that records all food stored in the freezers, plus bottles of wine stored in coolers in the upstairs north bedroom.
- Blue jays are frequenting the spot in the east yard where we rinsed out the doe.
- I racked jalapeño wine for the third time into a three-gallon carboy. The specific gravity was 0.992 and the pH was 3.5. Mary and I drank the remaining 8 ounces. It tasted really good. Obviously, a majority of red jalapeño peppers, combined with the dark raisins that we used for the first time, results in a milder jalapeño flavor.
