This week the sun has been shining, temperatures have been fall-like, and there's been a brisk breeze from the North...absolutely perfect in my mind. Days like these are never long enough, and they can lift the spirits and lighten the heart.
My daughter and I spent several nights in our camper Maizy, and although we didn't leave our own 10 acres, it was memories in the making...we laughed, watched Netflix or our favorite British shows on Acorn, scattered several little lanterns for glowing light, and had a sweet cat curled up at our feet.
Flowers have started to bloom on the farm and it makes me happy to see all the cheery colors...
iris and perennial geranium...
baptista and peony...
and even more springtime color as we spotted a pretty rainbow on a trip to a nearby town!
I've been trying sooo many new bread recipes from my MaryJane's Farm Wild Bread book...find it here, you have to have one!
Worried about running out of yeast? Worry no more, these breads are made with a starter capturing the wild yeast in the air around us. There are step-by-step instructions so we can't go wrong, and there's even a Wild Bread chatroom for questions.
Sandwich and Epi Breads
Fougasse and French Breads
Flatbread and Batter Bread
So here we are, almost to the official start of summer, taking in everything around us, and keeping mindful that time is fleeting.
Make sure to enjoy every minute...plan a backyard Mid-Summer's Eve party for your family, hang a sheet and have movie night outside, pitch a tent and make s'mores, fly kites, stargaze, play favorite games like hide & seek, Red Rover, or flashlight tag.
Ahhh, the joys of June!
