Now that summer has arrived with its warmer overnight temperatures, I have to put my bread dough in the refrigerator overnight. And then I have to warm it up in the morning.
Putting it on top of the electric kettle after I've boiled water for my coffee works nicely, if a little precariously.
I cleaned my car out very thoroughly after our roadtrip to Arizona, including wiping down the interior and vacuuming everything. Vacuuming necessitated pulling the front seats all the way forward so I could get at the floor in the backseat. I was amused at how far forward my Honda's seats will go.
This must just be for purposes of access.
We have started getting good rain and everything is greening up, but it was too late for most of the wildflowers. There are some now, though, and I've managed a few small arrangements.
Yellow clover, silver nightshade, and whatever those small pink and white flowers are.
A. has been feeding our friends' menagerie again this weekend, so he brought me some below-the-hill flowers, too.
Despite our early drought, a couple of the rhubarb plants have been growing nicely, and I got a very nice harvest of rhubarb from just those two plants yesterday.
With which I made a rhubarb crisp before freezing some.
There you have it! My life, snapshotted.
I made my kids vacuum out our cars this week. It's amazing how much dirt and miscellaneous collected even in normal use. We usually do it post-vacations as well. No matter how neat they try to be with snacks, there's always crumbs.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got rain!
