Quote of the Day: M.F.K. Fisher
“The smell of good bread baking,
like the sound of lightly flowing water,
is indescribable in its evocation of innocence and delight”
— M.F.K. Fisher, The Art of Eating
We’ve certainly been enjoying a lot of freshly baked ciabatta bread, made with freshly ground flour. I think this is my favorite kind of bread, great any way you want to eat it crusty on the outside, chewy on the inside – MMMMMM.
What’s your favorite kind of bread?

Sometimes looking at things from a different angle helps.
Have you noticed anything interesting in your gardens recently?

Quote of the Day: Unknown
“The difference between a stumbling block and a stepping stone
is how you use them.”
~Unknown
I’ve mentioned before about the rocky soil we have here at Chiot’s Run. Whenever I have to plant something it takes a long time to dig a hole and fish out all the rocks.
I could let this be a stumbling block and never plant anything, it is a HUGE pain after all and it takes a LONG time to plant anything. Instead, I see it as a bonus and I use these rocks for rock walls and stepping stones throughout the garden. Instead of being a big problem, they’re a big asset! Not to mention it’s good for my back and my biceps!
Do you have any stumbling blocks that you’ve harnessed as a bonus in your garden?

Hope you can get a good laugh in today! (of course you can tell Mr Chiots took these photos, a big thanks to him for getting a few photos of me every now and then).

Quote of the Day: John Steinbeck
“Well, just once in a while you get that feeling–I never look at anything. I never take time to see anything. It’s going to be over, and I won’t know–even how an apple grows.” said Jim.
John Steinbeck (In Dubious Battle)
I make sure I take time to notice the little things throughout the day. I find that when I take some time to look around I notice things I’ve never seen before, like the delicacy of a Queen Anne’s Lace as the evening light hits it. I’ve never noticed the way the buds have little bird’s nests on the back, so lovely.
What little things do you like to take notice of?
