Monday Musings

Yesterday was a full moon day, so I spent the weekend planting (almost) all of my above ground plant seeds. Corn, beans, spinach, lettuce, squashes and cantaloupe. I'm so excited. The only bad thing about planting is the waiting time. But as everything in my life is a continual lesson in patience, it's a good thing.

Anti-Cat devices

I was talking with Ben last night about bread and how we go through it so quickly that I should make more like 4 loaves at a time, rather than 2. But my KitchenAid mixer really can't handle more than a 2 loaf batch. The motor starts over heating and it smells gross.

So I decided I would try making a giant batch by hand today. It's been quite a while since I've made bread by hand and I hate to say I've become quite lazy, letting my mixer do all the work. It was nice to get back to the basic way of doing it and getting my hands dirty.

It's much bigger than it looks

If I made bread like this from now on though, I will have muscles of steel. Talk about a work out. But it was quite fun. And now I have four loaves rising and waiting for the oven.

What's this? A new project. It doesn't look like much now, but it will later, I promise. If I don't run out of yarn...


Have a wonderful Monday,
Meg
