2018 Blog Recap

December 26, 2018 By Carole

I’m taking a cue from Vicki and wrapping up my year of blogging in words (the first sentence of the first post of each month) and pictures (a favorite photo from each month) — the two are not necessarily related.

January 2018:
As I have for the past several years, I have chosen a word for 2018 and that word is kind.

February 2018:
Your mileage may vary but to me it felt like January just draggggged itself out longer than usual.

March 2018:
You know what’s coming up this Sunday, right? It’s THE OSCARS!

April 2018:
It was another whirlwind weekend of fun, campaigning and more.

May 2018:
I’m going to warn you right now – if you are hungry don’t continue any further.

June 2018:
This picture of the bridal wreath in our front yard is from about a week ago, the shrub is past it’s peak now.

July 2018:
I’m back and want you to know that we had an absolutely wonderful week in Maine!

August 2018:
It’s hard to believe that today is August 1st.

September 2018:
August was a really great month full of family and fun, vacation and good food, plenty of cocktails and plenty of time outside.

October 2018:
Sometimes Mondays aren’t just the start of a new week they are also the start of a new month.

November 2018:
This week on Three on Thursday I’ve got three random photos (with explanations) for you.

December 2018:
We had a super Christmas-y weekend here at Carole Knits!

I don’t know if you loved this or not but it was a super fun look back over the year for me. And it was really hard to choose just one photo for each month. I tried not to let it be All-Jackie-All-the-Time but I definitely wanted to choose a photo of people each month and not just food or flowers!

And with that I am taking the rest of the year off. Good bye 2018!

I’ll catch you all on January 1, 2019.

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
