Eye Candy Friday

June 11, 2010 By Carole

Tiger Lily blog size

The tiger lilies are in bloom. Yay! Do you know how happy it makes me to watch the weather forecast and just.not.care about it? Truly, it’s been such a relief!

We have nothing planned this weekend except hanging around, maybe having some dinner out, and seeing some friends. I’m really looking forward to doing nothing.

Happy Weekend!

    You deserve to do what you want for several more weekends. Tiger Lilies remind me of my mother. They were her favorite flower and grew next to her back door.

    These lilies remind me of my mother too- they were in our garden in Greece. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I learned she really didn’t like them much. I love them as they are one of the harbingers of summer for me. I have the heirloom double version in my garden. It’s called Hemerocallis fulva ‘Kwanso’. I rescued it from an old farmhouse that was being knocked down and property turned into a housing complex. They spread by runners unlike other cultivars.

    Lovely!! “Tiger Lily” has me thinking Peter Pan (w/Mary Martin)… might need to watch that this weekend! Those lilies filled the ditches on my way home in the early ’80s — used to stop and pick a fresh bouquet every few days.

    Enjoy your weekend! I’m sure that you are really ready for a weekend off.

    I am planning to ream out my room and my closet – have decided that this is the summer of declutter. I hope to make great strides this weekend because we are supposed to have a cooler spell.

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
