Monday’s Picture

August 3, 2009 By Carole

So I’m on vacation for the next two weeks.  I’m home this week and then next week is our annual trip to Cape Cod.  In the interest of spending less time on the computer and more time knitting, spinning, hanging out and all that good stuff, I’m going to take a slightly different approach to blogging this week.  The plan is to post a picture (or two) every day of someplace I’ve been or something I’ve seen or something I’ve done.  Sort of like Eye Candy Friday but on the other days of the week.

Let’s start with this one.

bridge street hills

This is the backyard of one of our fellow Kiwanians and the site of a really fun Kiwanis cook out last week.  My vacation is already off to a great start!

    I love pretty pictures.
    Did anyone go play some soccer on that field? It looks like the perfect place!

    Time off the computer on a vacation week is a smart move! Live it up!

    Enjoy your vacation time, Carole. I think I will like this approach to blogging, as my brain is not up for much more than looking at the pretty pictures.

    Where do you vacation on the Cape? Same
    spot every year? Same beach? Same rental?
    I am just full of questions!!!! I cannot wait
    until Sept to head up there. Have a great
    vacation and hopefully the weather will be much better than it has been this summer. We
    always vacationed at the Cape the first 2 wks
    of August and had the best weather. Happy
    knitting!

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
