Still running to catch up

Well I guess it's about time again.  Cathy and I decided to try a new bread recipe and it turned out darn good.

I was impressed with the tight, yet non doughy, texture.  I guess it came from the way it was made and not so much the ingredients.  Anyway - hot bread, fresh out of the oven with butter and Um Um!
I recently found some wild roses growing along the roadside in front of out house and was out taking pictures of them when I got to looking around and found a whole bush of them growing on the hillside, just inside our fence line.

They don't look like much from a distance but close up -

They be kinda purdy - I think.  I picked a bunch and took them in to Cathy.  She put them in a wine glass on the kitchen table.  Cute.  These roses only get about the size of a quarter and have rather short, thin stems.





This pic is for you, Barb.  I to had problems with ants getting into my hummingbird feeders.  So - in the spring, I started spraying the area that fastens onto the porch post with ant killer.  Have to make sure you get all around the base of the 2" x 2" that the feeder is on.  Be sure not to spray any more than just where it fastens onto the porch post.  You create a ant barrier between the post and the 2 x 2.   It works.  The hummers will sit on the 2 x 2 but only about 8 - 10" from the feeder.  No ants but lots of hummers.
