With the tractor arriving, now I can start milling again without killing myself. There are lots of logs to mill! However, with Charlotte Marie Test learning how to operate it, I may lose use time, lol!

Well… the kombucha experiment at Horse‑n‑Bear Ranch has officially gotten out of hand.
I started with one gifted SCOBY and now it looks like a full‑blown Appalachian family reunion in my gallon jar.

There’s the Big Mama SCOBY, the new baby SCOBY, the cousin who drifted off to the side, and at least three relatives who showed up uninvited but seem to be settling in just fine.

It smells like bread, tang, and questionable life choices — which means it’s perfectly healthy.
Kombucha: 1
Me: also 1, because I’m claiming this as a win.
