Eye Candy Friday

August 24, 2007 By Carole

zinnias_CSA.jpg

When I picked up our CSA share this week I was told I could pick all the zinnias I wanted. They were so beautiful and I felt like I was being a zinnia hog so I stopped at one bouquet. But now I wish I had picked more!

Have a wonderful weekend.

    Lovely colors esp when perennial flower color in the garden is starting to wane a bit. I am really enjoying my magenta and pink Cosmo ‘Sensation’ and marigolds right now.

    Don’t you just love the colors!? So happy, so bright and so FALL! LOL

    BEAUTIFUL…someone should create a hand-dyed yarn and name them “Zinnia”!

    Zinnias are a favorite of mine. They are always in every garden I plant and they really remind me of Grandma whose house was filled with them every summer. It was often my job to go out and pick them for the supper table.

    Very pretty.

    Sometimes I get to choose between flowers or the homemade goat cheese. Love your new monkeys – what yarn are you using?

    They are gorgeous!

    Oh WOW! I love the colors. Zinnias are one of those flowers that get lost with all the other flashy ones out there but remain a favorite of mine. They’re going on my list of to plant next year.

  14. Teresa says

    August 24, 2007 at 10:52 am

    Oh…those are beautiful! I hope that you put them out somewhere nice! My dad used to paint tiger lilies…so, needless to say, they’re my favorite! 😀

    Your zinnias look like a Fair Isle design waiting to happen. 🙂

    being a zinnia hog is a good thing 🙂 It never got warm enough here this summer for mine to bloom – thanks for the photo!

    August 24, 2007 at 11:46 am

    Oooh, I love the yellow one! I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how sturdy zinnias are to grow, ours are huge and keep growing and blooming despite the drought and heat. I can’t wait to see what they do next year after self-seeding!

    Love!

    I miss having zinnias in the late summer. Lucky you!

    I just went out and chopped a bunch of my zinnias down. They have done so well for me this year, and I figure my time with them is limited, so I’m going to enjoy as many of them indoors as I can.

    I LOVE Zinnias, but the ants always get them here 🙁

  23. Lucia says

    August 24, 2007 at 2:50 pm

    So pretty! My favorite colors are blue and purple with a touch of green, or red and pink with a touch of orange, depending on what’s caught my eye lately. I’m definitely going with reds today.

  24. Kathleen says

    August 24, 2007 at 7:41 pm

    I love zinnias! They are so perky!

  25. Norma says

    So pretty.

    Okay, this is an elementary question, but what does CSA stand for? I’m always seeing it, I guess I understand the concept, but I have no idea what it stands for.

  26. Kim says

    August 26, 2007 at 1:24 pm

    I love, love, LOVE giant zinnias. I’ve got to plant some next year. Was going to this year, but time has gotten away from me. Maybe I should just get some mums and those pretty cabbages….

  27. Diane E. says

    August 26, 2007 at 9:57 pm

    I could have planted more Zinnias myself. Thanks for the knid sock comments…I could not find your email 🙁

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
