Eye Candy Friday

December 7, 2007 By Carole

Apparently, Bloglines hates me again today.

Haul out the holly . . . Put up the brightest string of lights I’ve ever seen.

    Slice up the fruitcake;
    It’s time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough.

    I’ll be singing that all day now, thanks 😉

    This is the weekend I finally join the crowds and get some Christmas shopping done. I guess the decorating will come sometime after that.

    Lovely lights. That song though….. and I love Christmas music, but now you’ve put that one in my head and it is not one of my faves. Well, at least you know I’ll be thinking of you all day. 🙂

    But we love you! See, I’m here despite bloglines! I knew you’d have an ECF post!

    Have a wonderful weekend Carole!

    Bloglines hates everybody at some time or another. But we like you. And the lights are pretty.

    Cute! I’ll have you know that I decorated last weekend. So this Friday, I don’t feel guilty seeing your xmas dcoration pics. 😉

    It’s equal-opportunity hate with the Bloglines — they just have decided knitblogs are not worth their while, I guess. Somebody just gave me this tip: http://www.bloglines.com/ping, and it worked for me instantly. (this time) The person who gave it to me said lately it’s been broken sometimes, too. Frack.

    Oh, I love the “old style” lights! I’ve got a big bag of them in the basement. They’ll probably never make it out of there, though.

    I LOVE those big, multi-colored Christmas lights and now I really miss ours a lot….

    My grandpa used to have the big lights and they got so hot! I’ve been wanting to get some of the new cooler ones because they remind me of being a kid. Do you like yours?

  18. Julie says

    December 7, 2007 at 4:58 pm

    Pretty; must be Christmas time 🙂

  19. elizabeth says

    December 7, 2007 at 5:05 pm

    Me too! I posted this morning and it just now updated.

    We’ve been debating what kind of lights to put on the house and now I think I have the answer.

    Maybe, but I still love you.

    I’ve been so busy, I haven’t been by in a long while! Hannah is georgeous in her CPH! ooooohhh…. all those cranberry recipes! We hang things to dry inside now too, on a pool cleaning handle adapted with a garden rake on the end, hung between two of the rafters…the only thing long and sturdy enough.

  22. Dave Daniels says

    December 7, 2007 at 9:23 pm

    Love the old fashioned lights.
    I think Bloglines hates us all these days. I haven’t seen anything new for a couple of days. Except Cookie and Norma. But they have connections.

  23. anne says

    December 7, 2007 at 10:53 pm

    oooh i LOVE those lights . . we used to have that type when we were kids . . are they new or vintage?

  24. Teyani says

    December 7, 2007 at 11:13 pm

    bright lights indeed (grin)
    I usually go for plain white.. I know, boring, yet true. got my tree decorated last sunday on my day off

    I remember when my dad used to put up lights like those. I also remember them being really hot!

    The brighter, the better! Beautiful lights!

    Love those bright lights! I haven’t done a thing to get ready for Christmas. I think I’m in denial. . .

This loaf took about 24 hours from start to finish, it was sluggish at first so I waited patiently and adjusted my timeline. It rested in the banneton on the kitchen windowsill overnight and I baked it when I got up this morning. Oven spring was impressive, it’s got a good ear and a nice open crumb. It tastes good, too! #sourdoughbread #sourdoughbaking #lookatthatear #nicecrumb #ovenspring #homemadeisbest #breadforbreakfast #morningbaking #the100dayproject #100daysofiphonephotos
