Almost two years ago I made some lard. It lasted pretty well (I don’t use much), but I noticed recently that it was almost gone. So I requested a couple of pounds of pork fat from the meat lab, got 2.4 lbs, rendered it yesterday, and now I have almost a quart of fresh, milky white, unbleached lard.

I’m trying to mostly drink local beers when I can, so I was pleased to find @TriptychBrewing’s Dank Meme at Jupiter’s pizza.

As a nice place to sit and relax, I was trying to highlight the blue bench, but I fear the rock and the flowers rather stole the show. For the prompt “relaxation” in @macgenieʼs convalescent photoblog challenge.

Kettlebell swing. (For the prompt “movement” in @macgenie‘s convalescent photoblog challenge.)
Rivendell!
En route to Mordor, @jackieLbrewer and I are just recently arrived at Rivendell.

There’s a song I half-remember with the line, “I’ve had the patience of a tree,” so that was my first thought when @macgenie proposed “patience” as the first prompt for her convalescent photoblog challenge.

After yesterday’s Urbana Art Fair and a good night’s sleep last night, I was feeling pretty good. But a 20-minute walk in the prairie with my sweetie has me feeling so much better!

The tulip in front of me turns out to be @jackieLbrewer’s Revolution Northeast Hero, while the pint in front of her is my Half Acre Beer Hates Astronauts. @CraneAlley

Both @jackieLbrewer and I are drinking the @SevenSaints feature, the Barrell Dovetail, an exquisite bourbon/rye blend. Delicious at cask strength.
