Just a Saturday Morning
Usually when I write a journal entry, I have something specific to tell, a little story, a photograph or twenty, or something. But not this morning. I just dropped in here to say hi.
Hi.
Now you know it's hard for me to shut up after only one word, and I don't even have any good pictures... oh wait, I did take some the other day of the front yard... so here are a few:
That last shot was an action shot... the dogs were going nuts barking at something out in the street or someone going by... this goes on a lot here.
+ + + + + + + + + +
Anyway, spring is nittling along here in New England. It's been really nice here, despite all the bad awful nasty snow that has enveloped our friends in the mid-west... what is going on??? My poor friend, Sandy-from-Iowa, has been shoveling snow this past week! It's not fair.
+ + + + + + + + + +
Paul is lobstering again, not every single day but a few days a week as the weather/wind will allow. Lobsters are still quite scarce but as each day passes, he gets a few more in his traps. And he's starting to run down his bank balance and needs income to replenish it. Bills wait for no man - or lobster!
+ + + + + + + + + +
When I came down this morning, which was unusually early for me (7:45), there was a bread mix out on the counter which is my signal to make Paul a new bread in the machine. OK. I hobbled around putting that together - I add other stuff to his bread mix to spiff it up a bit, like golden flax seeds and oats and sunflower seeds -- and he had gotten the wrong kind of bread mix (Bob's Red Mill), potato bread, so I have to spiff that one up particularly as it's pretty bland if I don't. It just finished and came out pretty nice looking, not all caved in like some of them do but quite a good sized loaf.
Then I noticed that my jar of various sized scoops was out on the counter where it shouldn't be, and I tried to figure out why... and then I saw it - on the message board behind the scoops was written "C O O K I E S" by that hub of mine, so I knew I had to also make him new cookies as he'd just finished off his last batch. So before I even got my first cuppa down, I hobbled around the kitchen, gathering up all the ingredients to make molasses-spice cookies, and put them all together, warming up to room temperature, so when I was ready, it would be easier.
And in a couple of hours I was ready, and it wasn't too bad, and the cookies are done and cooling on the racks now,and I've even washed up all the dishes and cookie sheets, etc.
I haven't had anything to eat yet today except the cuppa, and it's almost noon now so better do that. I hear Paul home for lunch - bye for now.
Cheers from a Saturday Morning,
Bex & Co.
