  • Day 3!

    First post using the ipad app… I’m trying anyway, we’ll see how it turns out.
    Last year the neighbor gave me a bird house. I set it on my potting table near the mudroom door, thinking we would hang it over the weekend. The next day however we had new neighbors, chickadee’s!
    I posted about them but I haven’t learned how to do links on this yet.
    So this year I moved the bird house across from the door by the garage hoping that a chickadee would move in again. I was surprised when I looked out the window Tuesday and saw…
    Okay so i haven’t figured out how to insert the photo into a post yet… I’ll get it… :-s
    I saw a robin’s nest propped against the bird house!
    When I turned the porch light on Wednesday morning at 3:30 to go to work, I must have freaked it out because I haven’t seen it sitting in the nest since. :(
    I’m a little sad about this, but I understand new mothers’ need their beauty sleep.
    And that concludes day 3!
    How am i doing so far? :)

  • Day 2! Somebody stop me!

     

    I was very excited because I found the Xanga App for my iPad and I thought I would be able to post from it…

    But alas… I am too brain challenged at the moment to figure it out.

    I did however learn how to get pictures from the iPad onto Xanga… so.

    This is the oven I stand in front of five days a week, for two to three hours a day, sometimes four or five hours on holidays.

    It’s a little messy right there because I had just finished icing scone and frosting cinnamon rolls on the ledge and I hadn’t wiped it off yet.

    Oven stats:  It holds 24 sheet pans if I load it up, usually I only have 18 in it at a time, I rotate things in and out.

    Lately, I have been eyeballing other commercial ovens covetously…  it’s starting to concern me.  :-S

    This is some of what I bake in the fancy oven.  I didn’t do any of the breads, just the sweets.

    As I’m writing this it occurs to me that I didn’t get a shot of the sticky buns, cinnamon rolls, coffee cakes and the challah, I bake all of those too. Ah well, I have 29 more posts left to do that in!

    What has been your favorite job? 

     

  • First day of May! This is my month…. I’m going to challenge myself to do a post every day this month. The trick is going to be finding something interesting enough to post about. Well, I failed that part for today… I guess there’s nowhere to go but up!
    What would you think is interesting enough to post about?
