Eye Candy Friday

January 31, 2020 By Carole

At the same time that we got that beautiful dish garden of white flowering bulbs from Kim, we also got a huge basket of paperwhite bulbs from Kym. (Yes, they discussed this with each other.) The white flowering bulbs are in full bloom right now but the paperwhites have been a little slower to get going. The other day, much to my delight, I found this sweet little blossom.

It was tucked in among the greens and it made me smile and think how lucky I am to have friends who care for me, friends who show up when I least expect them, friends who surprise me, friends who may not be visible in my daily life but are always there to cheer me up. I’m truly fortunate.

And we’re all fortunate that it’s the weekend! And the last day of January! Hooray!

    Carole, unfortunately it was tragedy that brought me to your blog but I just have to tell you that I look forward to your posts EVERY single day. They just start my day off in such an uplifting way. I appreciate it so much. Much the same way that Dale brightens Kayleigh’s morning on the bus promptly at 7:40 ish and ours with such a friendly wave every morning! 🙂 I can’t thank you both enough for being such bright lights in our small little community of EB. So from my family to yours, thank you, thank you both for being you. For being such pillars and people to admire. Thank you.

    -Sandi

    That’s the thing about flowers-they have a way of peeking out and making things a little better.

    We both were thinking of you and Dale with love and concern. I’m happy we were able to bring a little beauty in during a sad time.

    xoxo!

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
