Eye Candy Friday

January 21, 2011 By Carole

Dale and I picked out this bouquet of tulips on our trip to the grocery store last week, right before I got sick. At the time we didn’t know they’d be adorning my sick room but I sure am glad we got them because they really brightened those days for me.

Here’s to a better – and healthier! – weekend for all of us!

    Beautiful! I bought red tulips this week but they haven’t looked as fresh as yours. I was so excited to see that it was tulip time again!

    Tulips are such playful flowers. I hope you’re able to have some big fun to make up for last weekend.

    So lovely, and I love the smell of tulips. Several years ago, I had surgery in early spring and knew I’d be stuck at home recuperating for a couple weeks. The day before, I went out and stocked up on fresh tulips and hyacinths. Even when I was snoozing, I was breathing in their wonderful fragrance.

    I hope this weekend more than makes up for last! 🙂

    Oh Tulips! Hands down, my favorite flower of all time. I actually looked for some last weekend, but didn’t find any. I’ll keep on searching.

    Have a great weekend!

    I always buy tulips or daffodils after Christmas. This year C beat me to it 🙂

    Over Christmas my daughter’s new boyfriend decided at the last minute to drive 14 hours, over mountain passes in the snow in a Smart car to meet us. Halfway here he was hit with the same thing you had. He had to pull over and check into a hotel for a five hour sleep in the middle of it. I was sure not to shake his hand when we met.

    I am new to blogging, so I feel like I am in the “just taking notes” phase. But when I do find a blog topic I like, I do comment because I genuinely like what has been said or the information was helpful to me. I am officially linked to your blog now, so I will be checking in often! Thanks for all the great advice.

    I bought myself some locally grown tulips too. They sure help chase away the winter blues and blahs.

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
