Dessert, bread, and a visitor!

 

Trying to cut back on carbs and sugar this week - so hard for a bread lover

and dessert maker!

We have been eating too much of both - only because there's not much else

to do.  No, that's a lie, there's plenty to do, but once 5 PM rolls around and 

the kitchen aromas of roasting and simmering ramp up, the fire crackles on

the hearth. . . . . . . .and the TV calls out "turn me on", our evenings seem

set and meals have been including crunchy bread and a sweet dessert

perhaps too often.

We've missed walking for few days as the rain and chilly air have been

miserable, and my sciatica painful.  Today the sun is back, the birds are

hungry, and a naughty squirrel has spent much of the morning on the

 front porch eating the birdseed we scattered for the birds!

Photos of the squirrel this morning - staring in the window and whom I'm

 sure would have a meaningful conversation with me if it could!!!
