RANDOM STUFF THAT MADE ME SMILE

Standing in my garden eating tomatoes right off the vine.

Washing my car under the full shade of trees I helped plant years ago.

Riding my bike this morning by fragrant hay fields.

Finally seeing success in my sourdough bread. One-loaf-at-a-time.

This one must have been good.  Three slices were gone before I could get a photo after it cooled.  It was made without yeast, only using my sourdough starter for leavening.  WooHoo!

  11. I love a field full of baled or rolled hay. It's always picture perfect.
    Congrats on the bread! Looks like it has a nice texture. That was something I could never master with my sourdough.

  13. You are so right! It really is the small stuff that makes us happy. And routine...I enjoy routine. Now if I can get rid of the clutter and junk I think I really NEED to save...well, I'll be making good headway!

  18. That bread looks amazing! Oh, for a slice with butter and my sister-in-law's apricot jam ... yumm. So what am I doing wrong - my tomatoes are teeeeeny - they literally do not grow bigger than a bead - but they are still sweet. Yours look SO good, beautiful and fat and red.
