MY it has been a Loooong time since I last wrote a
letter!{Dec 2021!!-tell me time doesn't FLY!}

It
was just 25° when I stepped outside this morning, to find that
the work crew is here to start doing a temporary fix on our barn
roof. The poor old thing has been leaking for SO many years
without repair that it is IN PERIL. The company that jacked the
camp this summer is here to (hopefully) get it shored up enough
to last until Spring, when they can fit us in for repairs!
EVERYONE--keep your fingers crossed on that!! ..and Bless Those
Guys that are doing the Work!

This
morning, I stirred my stumps and got a couple smallish
Garlic Cheese boules going to have with lunch today (
plus one for the freezer) I mostly followed
this recipe from Leisa Sutton at Sutton's Daze.
That
is one forgiving recipe that takes changes well, and it
is much quicker than some breads! In this case I am
leaving out the jalapeno powder, and adding 1 C+ of
fresh shredded cheddar/monterey jack! It all
worked out well that yesterday when I was canning split
pea soup-one jar didn't seal= instant lunch for
today!...and even better - that pushed the planned lunch
forward to tonight, so there are two meals all set to
go! I had quite a few roasted potatoes left from supper
last night, so will caramelize some onions to add to
those, fry a couple eggs, and Breakfast~for~supper is
ready! :) AHA! I see I forgot to slash the
tops! oops...it was super tasty and fresh though, so all
is forgiven! As often as I make bread, I rarely make it
to eat right then...wow...what a treat! |

Later
on this month we are heading down to Kate's for Thanksgiving.
It's time to see those grandchildren, AND MY baby! I love
going down there anyways: Fall is my favorite season,
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! AND...I love that area in
the Berkshires! We lived there for several years when we first
came home from Germany, so there are lots of great memories!
Until then...I have a GOAL!!...to get the dining room table here
at home CLEARED of canned goods I brought home from summer
canning at camp- it's my life story- so we can actually have a
dining room table for Christmas! I work S.L.O.W...L.Y.
...and
now what do you know? I have a new Lyme disease infection! JUST
what the doctor did not order! The good news is that we caught
this one early on, and so an appropriate length of antibiotics
should nip it! Again...fingers crossed! Remember your tick
checks people!

I have still
not been working on any quilts! We could have a field
day analyzing this--what IS it that causes a "writer's
block"?... a lack of motivation/energy/desire to work on
artistic things? Suffice it to say. just haven't
felt like it.
This
poor God's Eye has been hanging, partly done on the
upstairs hall design wall for how long? 6 years? I
even love it! Just can't seem to get up there and SEW!
Harrumph!
It
sure isn't to say I have lost interest in QUILTS though!
A favorite of mine is Cheddar quilts. If you like them
too, here's a
wonderful rabbit hole to head down, for you
Pinterest folks! Of course I love
Cheddar...I love FALL! |

Now
then...as is generally the issue, I can't think of
anything else to write about! Brain dead, perhaps! |
