Another Day in Paradise

What a wonderful day, the sun is shining the air is cool, and the smell of fresh bread is in the air.
Today is bread baking day. I started many months ago a sour dough starter and make my bread once a week. Today is sour dough rye. I like the slight chocolate rich flavor of this bread, we eat it hot from the oven with butter or with humus and sprouts later. I decided to try my hand at sprout making also, it is so simple and oh so cheap in comparison to purchasing sprout.
No basket weaving today, but I do look forward to getting at it soon.

Putting Summer Away

I finished cutting the last of my sweetgrass last night. Each year this becomes a larger task, I just don't have the heart to keep my two beds in check. It may also be that cutting and sorting this wonderful fiber is relaxing, I enjoy those times in the garden. The weather is not too hot, but the sun is shining. The smell of the cut grass is so pleasant and I can look forward to Fall and Winter weaving and coiling. I guess in short the work is done and enjoyment is ahead.
There is much to do yet in the garden, which for me is salad fixings and weaving materials. Many more beds to cut and put away, but the one I cherish the most is complete.
