Goodness, it's Thursday!

Snowflakes, or Leucojum aestivum
 Whoo, I haven't posted in a while. It's true that I came down with a nasty cold and was down for the count for a while....but even so, I spent a lot of my down time on my computer. So....what else kept me from posting?

In January, believe it or not, fuchsia "Gartenmeister Bonstedt"
Oh, I got a new I-phone and spent a lot of time figuring our how to make it work.

Or I've been following the New Hampshire primaries and am too flabbergasted by the clown-car circus show to focus on anything else?

Or work has been insane - when I go there between bouts of fever and sinus infections?

A scented geranium
But wait. Here's something nice.

All the photos are what's blooming in my front yard right now.

Early spring crocus
Here's what's baking in my oven.

Whole wheat and oat bread, left; bread with shallots and thyme, right.
There's a three-day weekend ahead, and we're looking forward to it.

  6. Nice bread! I'd love the recipe for the loaf with the shallots if you're willing to share. Crocuses make me very happy. Nice flower pics.

  7. That bread looks absolutely delicious! How do you get it so brown and shiny on the top?

    And it looks as if Spring has reached you!

  8. We just said goodbye to autumn around here, a little late. Our area looks very much like Gary's, minus the dogs :-)

    Last spring we had an early snowdrop peeking through the ice on March 1st.

  9. The only thing catching my eye in our garden is the frozen pine needles. *sigh*
