Home production is in full swing except for the honey production side of operations there has not been much time other than to record all of the things going on and reaping various harvests. Last night the elderberries were harvested for the first time and I will be making some elderberry jelly soon. Right now the berries are in the freezer for easy stripping from the stems.

With this and more going on and more planned here’s a past episode for fun and insight on how Ben Franklin approached life at least for a while anyway. The worst that can happen is that you end up a better person. Stay tuned for what’s really going on to make life better. More to come tomorrow.
