I'm tired of food assignments! This is hay for the sheep. I've got a bunch sold that are going to be in the corral until the transporter arrives. This was the only different meal I prepared today.

Preparing or eating food is a rhythmic part of life. Make a photo of a meal you prepared or ate today.

When we restored our 1927 kit house on the farm we found these bottles of wine in the basement. They were some of the very first commercial wines made in Colorado. We had a wine party with our winery neighbors and opened them. Surprisingly the red wines were not very good but the whites had aged remarkably well and were better than some of the wines currently being made here! We still have one unopened bottle. Maybe this year we'll try it.

Plastic or glass, make a photo of a bottle or grouping of bottles today and post it.
