A Day at the Beach

July 17, 2006 By Carole

First of all, thank you so much to everyone who voted in the Amazing Lace Poetry Challenge. You guys are awesome and many of you had already voted for me before I even asked. Love you all! And guess what?!? I won!! Not only do I get 3 entries in the grand prize drawing but I also won this great little bag from Robynn! Thanks again to everyone who voted.

My weekend was busy with a family party (details later) and errands and shopping. But Sunday was all about this:

beach_chair.jpg
I parked my ass in that chair for about 4 hours. I did get up to eat a sandwich and swim a bit.

I also got up and took a sky photo for Sandy.

And a flower photo for Cara.

But mostly I just sat in that chair with my knitting. Sometimes life is really good.

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
