It was a fleck of a surprise when I stepped exterior to scare away the bad dogs in addition to constitute a moisture patio nether my feet. It's coming! Fall is coming!
Don't yous dear the alter of seasons? As for me, I'm a armed services brat. I grew upward loving alter of whatever kind, in addition to the seasons are no different. Mike in addition to I left on our epic journeying to a greater extent than or less the perimeter of the U.S.A. simply most i yr ago. It was a wonderful trip, in addition to it seems equally if to a greater extent than fourth dimension than simply a unmarried yr has passed. But I cite that alone to nation that we're both looking forwards to spending autumn in addition to wintertime hither at home. (See? We're non fifty-fifty into official autumn yet, in addition to I'm already talking most winter.)
Sue in addition to I didn't terminate upward walking yesterday, in addition to then I constitute myself amongst to a greater extent than fourth dimension on my hands than expected. After leaving the restaurant, I picked upward a few things at the grocery shop in addition to ran a twosome of other errands. When I got home, it was nearly fourth dimension to bake off the minute loaf of bread. When it came from the oven, it looked similar this:
The scoring went ameliorate on this minute loaf. I tried beingness a piffling less fancy, in addition to it worked out. Here's the affair I've learned most scoring: it industrial plant ameliorate if I dust the loaf amongst a piffling flour earlier making the cuts amongst the lame. (If you're unfamiliar amongst that term, it's pronounced luh-MAY. And I alone simply learned it within the past times year, then don't accept it equally an indication of whatever sort of expertise on my part.) Sometimes the dough is rather wet, in addition to the lame simply drags across the surface without actually cutting in. In the same means a piffling flour on the breadstuff board keeps the dough from sticking, flour on the surface of the dough keeps the lame from sticking.
It had to cool for an hr earlier I could cutting into it, in addition to here's how it looked on the inside.
Not bad. I'd nevertheless similar to encounter some larger sourdough holes inside. Possibly this "whole grain" loaf is to a greater extent than dense than that. I'll direct hold to create some reading upward to encounter how i achieves holes...and amongst cooler weather condition on the way, I'm getting itchy to create to a greater extent than bread-baking.
So I could direct hold spent fourth dimension sewing yesterday afternoon. Instead I lazed around. Quite a fleck of hand-stitching got done on the Shop Hop names. There are simply ii left, in addition to I should direct hold those finished upward this morning. After that, I'll motion on to the side past times side of the Snow Globes blocks.
The kitties were lazy yesterday too. Mike alone industrial plant a half-day on Fridays, in addition to then Smitty snuggled upward side past times side to him on the reclining chair.
Sadie was looking all coquettish. She's trying to entice Melissa of #melissapaintmycat to pigment her.
This morn I had a spell of sourdough toast amongst enough of buttah in addition to carrot cake jam. There's cipher ameliorate inwards the whole broad world...unless yous count actual carrot cake.
Today I'm picking upward twoscore lbs. to a greater extent than of Roma tomatoes, in addition to then my weekend is sort of planned out for me. I tin post away accept my fourth dimension a piffling fleck amongst these, but I'll take away to acquire them all processed within the side past times side few days. I'm hoping for a piffling fourth dimension to showtime quilting on the Welcome Home mystery.
Time volition tell.
