dark rye and pumpernickel are my favorites, thick heavy breads
Those were the fancier breads we got growing up.
Never had Wonder Bread at home but in 50's my grandfather used to buy these plain
long loaves of something similar and keep it in a metal breadbox with a sliding top.
Pretty hard to get in there quietly due to that darn slider...and it was in its own drawer.
So if one was a young child bent on bread thievery, there were obstacles.

Local apple orchard has link up with local baker who makes sourdough bread from whole grains grown right here in Bucks County.
It's a treat at 6 bucks a loaf, but not one crumb goes to waste.
Toasted with a little butter. Crunchy edges. Oh my. Quality carbs.
Probably why I'll never be skinny.
All local bakers probably make much healthier bread for us
Helogabals, mass produced bread in the US is pretty dreadful when you are used to fresh/craft bread made locally.
but it can sit up on that shelf for up to a week and still be sellable.

Why it's so important to stay away from the Cheetos and chips, leave room for the good stuff.

radishes finished or all I'm willing to do. Mighty cold out there in the wind. Covered several plants for tonight's freeze

Got the 30 ever-bearing strawberries potted, now have to do the early-bearing ones.

Love a good rye or pumpernickel … … especially with some corned beef to go with it.

Good morning and HAPPY EASTER!
low was a balmy 48°, going up to 74°. So much for today being calm.... wind kicked in about 20:00 last night and was ripping past midnight... or longer. Still windy this morning at 20-25 mph.

Maybe it will calm down a bit and we can get out to do some more fence panels. If not, it will be a relaxing day.

Still no rain or even a slight chance of it in our 10 day forecast. The extreme and exceptional drought areas are again getting larger. I wish RNG can get the deflectors set up and David would start a pineapple express towards our way....
When you only get an average of 10" of rain a year, and already almost 3" below average to date..... well not looking good....

I started this post at 08:00 this morning.... again, it didn't post.... at least I caught it this time.... weird. I swear I watched it post...

Had a good dinner with the son and 3 GS. They enjoyed Grandma's cookin' for sure! We had an Italian cream cake for desert.... almost too sweet for me.

Wind didn't quit, so an inside day. I took advantage and relaxed....

Everyone have a great day!

Good Easter Monday morning! Once again the temperatures for mid-Autumn are weird, a low of 14C and the overcast high may be 16C. I had 0.5mm of rain in the gauge. Steady breeze.

Nothing on the plans for today but a few more political signs to erect tomorrow with a 1000 start.

Take care all.

Happy easter evening! 7 Hours of driving but got to visit with everyone. Warm day got into the 90s.

I got to see my old Farmall A. My nephew changed the 6 volt battery system to 12 volt and now with a negative ground. He also replaced the oil pan seal, adjusted the radiator fan and a few other new parts and It's as good as new. He took off the belly mower. I did not know there was an offset PTO shaft in the rear because you have to remove the the rear belt pullys, which I never did. He now connects an offset rear finishing mower and says it's his best mower. It started right up and sounds really good and no longer leaks oil! He really appreciates that that tractor was once a wedding anniversary gift that I gave to my wife (his aunt) and before that his great grandfathers garden tractor.

Once home streamed the morning service so it really felt like Easter.

30° right now...high in the mid-50's today...

2 or 3 angina attacks early this morning. Funny, I don't seem to get them as frequently during the day. Doctor put me on some new meds...hopefully, that will alleviate the attacks.

I did enjoy the snow squalls yesterday. None were intense, but I'm glad I wasn't on the road
