klerasupernova:

spring time! built a green house. all found material but the plastic. raised beds and filled with black earth from the forest and compost from the neighbors cows. mmm. closed the birch some three weeks after tapping. Stored over 100L. some the classic Latvian way: pour in 3L jar with a black current branch, couple raisin, slice of lemon, and some cloves. of course each family has their own variation. Other 80L were made into four different sparkling beverages (half of which is already gone) there was a mint and wild hops, ginger and wild hops, and then the two fermenting now (with 6% opps!) another ginger and a kvass type beverage. The birch juice doesn’t give much flavor just the base for healthy tonic. And like the other tonic sure might be good with some gin!

Model 1930’s kitchen

Am I the only one who thinks the sink on painted bricks is absolutely adorable? (and sturdy!)

Give me that stove any day, too!

It’s so cute!

Look at this tree, man.

The Angel Oak Tree is estimated to be in excess of 1500 years old, stands 66.5 ft (20 m) tall, measures 28 ft (8.5 m) in circumference, and produces shade that covers 17,200 square feet (1,600 m2). From tip to tip Its longest branch distance is 187 ft.

Ancient being.

Wow this is amazing
