Insert Clever Title Here

February 5, 2009 By Carole

Last night Dale and I had the opportunity to meet Gale of She Shoots Sheep Shots for dinner. Gale and I have tried to meet before and it’s never worked out so I was really excited about finally getting to meet. I was not disappointed! Gale is smart and funny and full of great stories from her years as a photographer. We had an enjoyable evening of good food and even better conversation, confirming again my opinion that blogging has made my life so much better.

In the meantime, the tulips are just about dead.

But they are still pretty photogenic.

    I’m a little envious about your dinner with Gale. Sorry I missed her at Rhinebeck. I need some tulips to brighten my world.

    Glad you finally got to meet. It’s funny how colorful dying tuips still are. My mother enjoyed drawing them before they bit the dust.

    Yes – but was she tall? 😉 I’m glad you got to meet a fellow blogger – it’s always so much fun to put a live face to a name isn’t it?

    Oooooh, what fun for you! She’s so nice. I’m more than a little bit envious. I’ll bet that was a great time.

    Up close like that, the tulips are still pretty.

    Those are great pictures. I love how you caught the texture in the tulip!

    Even in dead the tulips are worth photographing. Very pretty.

    The pics are gorgeous! I missed your post about the Everyday Cardigan. It’s one of my favorite sweaters and I’m not even crazy about the Ballybrae yarn I used because it grows so much. I keep saying I’m going to knit another in a better yarn.
    Glad you got to meet up with another blogger. It’s always fun.

    Sounds like a lovely evening. If you hadn’t mentioned the tulips were dying I probably wouldn’t have noticed. I am a bad botanist but the colors are so gorgeous!

    That last photo looks like a watercolor painting. Lovely.

    Yeah, I kinda hope I look that good when I’m almost dead.

  12. Joy says

    February 5, 2009 at 12:08 pm

    Even nearly dead, the tulips would make a really neat colorway 😉

    The tulips are still lovely. Ya know, I don’t look that good now.

    I wish I knew that you two were meeting. I would have sent something (don’t ask me what, lol) along with her.

    Or maybe I would have hopped in her camera bag and tagged along.

    Those pictures are gorgeous. It’s amazing how photogenic the tupils are as they wane.

  23. Leslie says

    February 6, 2009 at 10:16 am

    How fun! And those tulips are gorgeous, even as they fade. Such color on the inside!

    Sounds like a wonderful dinner…and a fun time.

    Love the photos! I can tell you are having much more fun with your camera lately!!!

I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 year I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 years now (I started before the pandemic, ironically enough) and this might just be one of my best loaves. The dough was sluggish yesterday and not ready to be proofed when I went to bed so I stuck the plastic bucket in the fridge and hoped for the best. Turns out the overnight bulk fermentation resulted in a beautiful, bouncy dough. I can’t wait to cut into it and check out the crumb but it’s still cooling down. #sourdoughbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest #breadbaker
