So, I was sitting at the market in Blue Hill today and had some downtime. So I started cleaning out some photos. (I take a lot of photos!) Anyway, I found myself going down memory lane!
I started taking photos of some of the baked goods I have been bringing to market in 2017! Almost 10 years ago. But I've been baking long before that!
It all started when Doug from Pairings/Winterport Whinery and I were joking about bringing donuts to the market. I tried to get him to bring them, and he insisted I bring them. I had never made donuts before, so I insisted he do it. Then he ended up leaving. He moved away, so I did some research in my mother's old cookbook, and low and behold, there was a donut recipe. And I am still making them to this day! Over the years, I have made a variety of things like: cupcakes, muffins, croissants, pies, cakes, cookies, many bread varieties, and so much more! I thank each and every one of you who have supported my baking all these years. And I hope I will still be able to bake for many years to come. (Maybe not as much, though.)
The last few weeks, we have been heavy into haying. Tomorrow, we will be bringing in our last field of first crop! Woohoo!
Then we move on to doing rain dancing to try to bring rain to grow our second crop! Last year, we fell short with the drought. I'm hoping for a better year this year!
It's that time of year again to go a second round of w**d whacking fence lines so the fence doesn't short out. I did a couple of sections last week but have a lot more to go. It gets harder this time of year. The stalks are thicker, so I have to use two w**d whacker. One has the cord, and the other has a blade for the heavier stuff. It's a pain, but it works.
The calves are growing fast. I was just out checking on them tonight. Even the calf who lost his mother is growing good. Guess he's getting enough milk from stealing off multiple cows.
I hope you all enjoy your weekend! Summer is flying by! Enjoy it while you can!
