Eye Candy Friday

September 24, 2010 By Carole

Monarch Butterfly blog size

Last Thursday I read about migrating butterflies and that it was the peak time for this in my area. I came home and found this guy hanging out on my asters. Coincidence? I think not!

I’m looking forward to a beautiful fall weekend. Hope you are too!

    So pretty! We don’t get Monarch butterflies down here. (At least I’ve never seen one.) I hadn’t noticed that their bodies are spotted.

    Enjoy your weekend!

    What a beauty! Years ago my older girl’s teacher gave her a monarch cocoon. We went through the entire process at home. Awesome memory for us both! Enjoy!

    How pretty! We don’t see Monarchs as often here as you do in the East. I tried planting milkweeds in a natural area at my old house to attract them, but wasn’t ever able to get them to grow. Imagine that, I couldn’t grow weeds…..

    Very pretty. I feel like I’ve seen more butterflies than usual all summer long.

    Lovely Monarch! We have a Monarch chrysalis on the side of our house right now – the grand unveiling should be about this time next week. I’m hoping to get pictures before it heads off to sunny Mexico. 🙂

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
