No grass yet

We haven't yet gotten the grass planted for Angus. I've no idea why, I just haven't yet gotten to it. Our days have been pleasantly full in any case. Like yesterday, we bottled a run of an oatmeal/coffee/bourbon stout, then re-racked a blonde imperial beer into a secondary carboy, then we kegged an imperial IPA. That was around checking the greenhouse, going for a bike ride and cleaning up around the house.

Today was dirt work for me. I spent 4 or 5 hours on the tractor moving old piles of rocky sand around, mostly to shine up the driveway a bit. Then I hooked up a drag behind the tractor and smoothed out the driveway. Crystal spent a good bit of the day planting and working in the greenhouse.

We think tomorrow will be brewing another 10 gallons of beer, 2 batches of 5 gallons each. One is a hoppy beer, the other is a watermelon beer (for summer days).

Now dinner is cooking and life is calm and good.
