Early spring?

Standard

Groundhog day Old Phil the groundhog, up in Punxsutawney, PA didn’t see his shadow, so that may mean we have an early spring this year. With the rate we are going, it seems we are just ‘catching up’ to winter. Next week is suppose to be a doozie-arctic cold.

I’ve been a bit blue because of an accident that happened last Friday. A young lady named Blair, barely 20 yrs old was killed in a car accident on the next road down, one of the roads we all travel all the time. We know her boyfriend from church. Blair was in the class under Sean and he really didn’t know her. Her parents wrote a lovely statement in her obituary. I couldn’t get over it-so heartfelt and an everlasting tribute to Blair.

I knew Barbaro the race horse would be all over the local papers. There are some great stories about him.

I want to thank all you bloggie people who are stopping by here. I hope you come back again. I’m glad you like my music too. That is a fun music site and I recommend it. I’ll be changing the jaunty tune soon, but it seemed perfect to pep us up from this blah weather.

I need to go shopping or something. I failed miserably in the bread baking department yesterday. I tried a recipe and the bread didn’t rise. I used all purpose flour and even warmed up the milk and butter a little-not too much. Maybe my yeast was too cold-it had been in the frig. It needs to ‘wake up’ first I guess.

Have a great weekend!

  1. Hi Dianne!
    Hope you leave the blues behind soon…

  2. I do hope the groundhogs are right and that we’ll have an early Spring!! How sad about that girl Blair, things like that make me so sad too even if I don’t know them well. Yeast can be very fickle…I almost just buy the little packages as I need them, otherwise they seem to go stale and don’t rise.

  3. I keep my yeast in the fridge too, Dianne, and let the yeast activate in the warm water with a little bit of flour or sugar to help it along. I let it sit 15 minutes or more if I forget about it. 😀 Hope your next bread baking adventure ends with a lovely loaf!
