When we would move I would pack boxes really heavy because there is always MORE ROOM. Apparently it has taken it's toll on me. Add the fact that our youngest son was born with a brain abnormality and I would always just pick him up like it was no big deal, after he passed away it took an even bigger toll on me. I'm not about to start doing anything that says I am a 20, 30 + year old. I'm 56 now and it just sucks that I have so many problems with picking up anything that has a real weight to it. I would love to be able to get back to the time of pick it up regardless of weight but I know it's not going to happen. So is life

This breaks my heart. I'm so sorry for your loss, I can't even imagine. 💔

Good afternoon everyone. Today we are burning our log pit and cleaning up the fence line between our property and our son's, we're burning branches and trees that hubs cut down when he was cleaning out our treeline. We have some fence that needs repairing from trees and shrubs that got to big and messed it up in places. I'm currently on a break, just finished my brunch.

Hope you all have a good day!

It's a big fire. The logs are huge, it will take several days for them to burn up. Then we have another stack to throw in there.

Good afternoon DMC! Hope you have a great Friday.

A report on the bread. I did a couple of things wrong. I should have woken my starter with a first feeding, then I became impatient and baked it too soon. It was 8:30pm and it was going so slow, I think I could have left it on the counter overnight, then baked it in the morning. Or placed it in the fridge and let it finish rising the next day. It tasted good, just dense.

I'm working on a different recipe today. It calls for honey and avocado oil. The dough is looking much better. I'll report back and share once it's finished. Right now, I'm hopeful.

It sucks when you go to all that work and it’s not how you want it. I hope your next loaf turns out good.
I fed my starter yesterday morning. I actually had 2 jars going. I used all of one of them. I mixed dough up when I got home, and after stretch and folds, I put it in the fridge. I shaped the dough this morning, put it in loaf pans and put them back in the fridge. (We are on the way to my sister’s place.) I hope it rises. I forgot to put my other starter in the fridge. It was at room temp a full 24 hours.
