How to use chopsticks

My child seems destined to best me at most things.  She is already much better at using chopsticks than I am! 

Everything is very lush

Oh my, has it ever been raining.  Hours and hours of heavy rain, multiple days in a row.  

While staying indoors can grow tedious, and the humidity is oppressive, everything is luscious and green! It's quite beautiful.  

Vodka update

Well, from what I can tell my berry vodka is coming along nicely.  I decided to siphon off 3 little bottles for our Fourth of July getaway weekend, but the rest was recapped and sent back to its hiding spot.  

It really wasn't sweet, which is what I was hoping for, so I did add more sugar before closing it up.  I have no clue if these berries are going to ferment and add another kick to the vodka, or if I'm just coloring and lightly flavoring vodka.  Did I mention I'm winging this? Whatever.  Que sera, sera.
