Whether yous are a mother, cause got a mother, are missing your mother, want yous were a mother, know a mother, or whatever your human relationship is to mother's day...a real Happy Mother's Day to you! As for me, I ever destination upwards missing my woman parent on Mother's Day. This is the 21st Mother's Day since she passed. Here's a moving painting of her amongst me together with my brother...and he's long gone immediately too.
If I know my mother, she in all probability made that clothing she's wearing.
When I took the images off my photographic boob tube camera this morning, I constitute a few left over from yesterday. Let's simply dorsum upwards to where the loafing began. Here...Smitty is watching Formula One racing amongst Mike every bit I was leaving for the farmer's marketplace yesterday.
Smitty likes machine racing almost every bit much every bit he likes lying on Mike's lap.
When I got dorsum from the farmer's market, Mike helped me relocate the two-hooked shepherd's crook to a house where I mean value deer volition fearfulness to tread. Hopefully, the ferocious hummingbirds guarding their feeder volition give Bambi together with his friends pause.
And since I'm non convinced the squirrels aren't the culprits, nosotros left the squirrel shield inwards house to discourage them from climbing the pole.
It was warm yesterday, together with thence I opened upwards the greenhouse. It's fourth dimension for that anyway since the showtime flowers cause got opened on the tomatoes. It's fourth dimension to allow the flight things buzz through together with practise their undertaking of pollinating.
As I mentioned inwards yesterday's post, I had a loaf of breadstuff inwards the works. This is an Artisan Sourdough Loaf. It's a moisture together with glutinous dough, together with it's difficult to give it much shape. I was happy amongst the looks of this one, although I'm even thence struggling amongst the scoring of these breads. In this case, the surface of the breadstuff is fairly flexible, together with thence scoring is less important.
When I cutting it open, it had a pretty crumb, together with the season was wonderfully sourdough tangy.
This morning, Sadie was the loafer. She was sitting on Mike's lap inwards the living room. I suppose she's remembering the kittens she raised field she was even thence feral. Or possibly she simply similar showing off her beautiful tummy.
Flashing the photographic boob tube camera inwards her eyes was exclusively mildly disturbing. She simply stretched out her piffling kitty arms together with went dorsum to sleep. (I beloved those orangish stripes on her arm.)
As I mentioned inwards yesterday's post, I had approximately other loaf of breadstuff inwards the works. This morn I managed to larn this floppy dough into a banneton for its instant rise, together with and thence baked it off. It turned out pretty. It's cooling downstairs, together with I'll accept this i when nosotros become for dinner at Erik together with Mae's family tonight.
While I was waiting for the breadstuff to rise, I finished off the seventh of the Snow Globes blocks. This i is called "Santa Claus."
Next I'll hold out tracing out the third of nine blocks for Friendship's Garden. I'll hold out spending at to the lowest degree a purpose of my Mother's Day planting sunflowers together with zucchini inwards the garden. That volition cause got to hold back for me to accept a instant transcend at the weeds inwards those areas. After that, I'm hoping to larn dorsum to my quilting together with sewing. I'll pass a piffling fourth dimension on Quiltmaker's Garden, together with and thence I'll larn dorsum to sewing the Wine Country quilt top together. Since I changed my hear most the sashing, I've needed approximately fourth dimension to mean value most it. Now I know simply what to do.
