July 28, 2016 By Carole

Here’s what’s happening around here, right now.

tomato harvest for carole knits

Knitting: Socks. But we talked about that yesterday.

Reading: Books Can Be Deceiving. It’s for Summer Book Bingo, a light and fun cozy mystery.

Achieving: Bingos! I’ve got a bunch now.

Missing: Outlander. What a fabulous ending to season 2, though.

Marveling: That my house that looks the same as I left it in the morning when I get home from work. (Dale has been away at Boy Scout camp.)

Journaling: Pretty much every day and often with art. So much fun.

Photographing: Families. A small one on Tuesday and a very big one coming up this weekend.

Anticipating: The Gilmore Girls on Netflix. November 25th. Woo hoo!

Picking: Tomatoes, cucumbers and basil. Yay!

Playing: Pokemon GO. Yep.

What’s happening in your world?

    Knitting -yes, socks too. Naturally, I’m doing two self striping yarn socks. They’re for Christmas so I’m limited as to when I can knit them…

    Listening – to the Harry Potter Series on my way to the office, mixed in with Chernow’s “Hamilton”

    Anticipating – red tomatoes! You’ve got me jealous over here! Well done!

    Marveling – at the wonder that is this little hummingbird who came visiting yesterday for a shower. I’m going to try to lure him back tonight

    Playing – Pokemon Go! We will have to go together to a few Pokestops. The War Memorial Park over in WBridgewater has like 4 and someone always throws a lure on them. Plus Pleasant Meadows has one.

    ‘Picking’. Great addition, albeit an envy inducing one. Enjoy!

    Picking and doing a bit of preserving – because having some of summer when it is gone is the best! XO

    Thinking…I should do a blog post. 🙂 And the Gilmore Girls…Is it starting at Season 1? I’ve never watched it but everyone seems to have loved it.

    Playing- Pokémon Go I the library and town hall gazebo are stops/gym ( I assume you are quite aware). Then along the same road the Frosty Dog is a stop. Plympton’s library, fire station, church and cemetery are all Pokémon stops 😉

    Reading: Siracusa Delia Ephron

    Finishing up projects, enjoying veggies from friends gardens, wish our technology change over happened after Outlander [I’ve read all the books, but I love looking at the costumes!], reading, and getting a young man ready for graduate school.

    Tomatoes, basil and cucumbers . . . nothing better with a splash of balsamic glaze. That is the ideal summer cooler!

    Knitting: Mick Jagged. Also this a.m. ripped out socks I had started…decided I don’t like the yarn. New yarn from stash already chosen.
    Reading: The Atomic Weight of Love. I’m really enjoying this one.
    Achieving: Weight loss – YAY!!!.
    Marveling: How big the slugs are on my patio at night – yuck!
    Anticipating: Season 4 of A Place to Call Home – excellent series.
    Picking: A few tomatoes, onions and kale (of all things – why it has held up in this heat I have no idea).

    I’m working on a second and third bingo, both of which should happen soon. Fixing a toe on a sock and wishing my TTLM would grow (faster). I’ve never seen the Gilmore Girls so I hope to watch a few episodes this winter. Our garden is not happy this year. I picked 2 tomatoes but this could be the year we get very few!

    I’m pulling a lot of weeds and reading a lot of books! 🙂

    HA! I have that book in my kindle queue. Did I read about here, or was in on BookBub?

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
