tea_and_toastOctober's passing fast. The mornings are dark when we get up, and there's not time after dinner to walk to the mailbox before a lantern is required. It took me until Halloween last year to realize our street had no streetlights. (I moved in March.) I grew up at a house with a streetlight right out front, so this darkness is strange. Streetlights seem like family friends, or kind old trees in the forest of my life. Maybe it's a Narnia thing.
I made bread again, but panicked when it seemed wet, and added too much flour.
It's a bit dense and dry. I know it's good to learn constantly, but does that mean I have to screw up a little each time too?
It gets better with butter, though. (Don't most things?)
We still have strawberries growing. They actually got happier when it stopped being so hot out, and are now producing more than they did this summer. Silly things. I can't complain.
