Resurrection

 I am playing catch-up today after three days not in the tomb, but in the throes of a very nasty head cold, during which I did next to nothing.  "School" was reduced to watching the wonderful historical drama John Adams, and reading aloud, with much throat-clearing and nose-blowing, Where the Lilies Bloom.  









The days have become chilly since this past weekend, and there was frost this morning, making me glad that I am such a procrastinator when it comes to putting plants into the ground.  The last frost date around here is generally April 15th, although I believe some were fooled by the early spring into believing that there would be no more frosty mornings.  My herbs are still tiny, gracing my workbench.

I had to make yogurt this morning and bake bread, as milk is abundant with the spring grass and I ran out of bread yesterday.  I decided against my usual mixed grain loaves and opted instead for some honey wholewheat bread.


The kids have very little evidence of their colds; just a few sneezes and sniffles, but it is hard to tell what's what, since most of us have pollen allergies this time of year, too.

Now that I am again to be counted among the living, I have a number of things to do, so I had best be getting to them!  It's good to be back...

  2. Glad the worst of your cold is over! We're all suffering from pollen allergies here, and last night's freeze made me glad I've not planted anything either :)

  6. Cother, this one is the one I use every week. I am afraid I do not have the measurements worked out in grams, as is done in Europe. Maybe next time I make it I will remember to do that!
