Sunday

Today was another adventure in bread baking. Some friends and I split an order of 20 pounds of whole wheat flour from a local mill. Today, I used some to make some whole wheat bread. Baking bread is definitely an art that takes patience. Lots of waiting for the dough to rise, etc. But it is so worth it!

This recipe is divine. It has a bit of honey, which adds a perfect taste to the bread. Not too much, just enough. 

I decided to scrap the last sock that I was knitting. I wasn't thrilled with the color or the texture of the yarn. I'm going to start a new one:

Years ago, I bought a set of laminated fold-out sock patterns called Box of Socks. They are great patterns, and I like them for a little variety. Here's my yarn choices:

Multi-color yarn is Shibui that I probably bought 10 years ago. Same with the sparkly one, which is Lorna's Laces. The sparkle maroon will be for the heels and toes.

I'm thinking of keeping my camera in the kitchen. There's so much activity out my window as I stand at the sink! The remodel included a move for this sink from a solid wall to the window. I'm so glad that I did this! Here's a pair of goldfinches having thistle breakfast this morning by the shed:

See you all tomorrow!
