It takes like wild, gamey honey

Dad has been helping Tipton Haynes, a local living history farm, make sorghum molasses for the past ten years. I'm not sure how he got involved, but like all of the odd stuff he does - being a standardized patient for the medical school, measuring road race courses for the track club - once he gets started he goes all out.


It was a little rainy, unfortunately. And when I say rainy, I mean we had our own flash flood warning.

If everyone is very good, tomorrow I'll treat you to the video that the Johnson City Press made.
More pictures here.

Helps Tipton-Haynes? Dude, sorghum was his idea, T-H let him grow it there to be nice. If I remember correctly, his original idea was to put the sorghum on the family farm in Lee county, but he realized that it is not a good crop to manage long-distance, and he was shuttling me to T-H fairly often anyway. How he had the idea to grow sorghum anywhere is the baffling part.
