This morning has been all about smells for me….. it started when I got up and made my
strong coffee (that is a whole another story & often makes me the butt of family jokes!) then I took Luna, my farm
dogette out for a 2 mile walk and I smelled the fresh scent of the ground (sniff.....hmmmm…
Spring really is here). Even as a kid, I
always loved the smell of dirt, (okay, I know what you are thinking, Yup! she’s
weird J) ,
then if you were sitting in my kitchen
with me right now, I ‘d slice you up a big thick piece of Banana-strawberry
bread. It just came out of the oven and
the aroma of freshly baked sweet bread is divine. Now that I've eaten a big slice of bread
myself…. I know that I had better work outside and shovel some river rock and
do some rock packing for a small landscape project as a way to burn off those
extra calories. It ‘s probably a good
thing you aren't here… cuz I’d probably try to entice you to help me pack rocks
and shovel some river rock too. And just
in case if you were wondering, yes I am wearing my standard overall ensemble (i.e. from
the 3/23/14 blog). My trusty hired young
neighbor kid is off at an FFA conference, so it’s just going to be me and Luna
working outside, although she thinks since I am outside that I am her personal
tennis ball thrower. She has this
uncanny way of knowing just where I want to be moving rock and goes and sits
there, so then I have to throw the ball to get her out of my hair. She has me trained well…geez.
Banana-Strawberry Bread... fresh from the oven. Recipe also on OMG Desserts page
The winter wheat is starting to grow and green up and I’ve
seen a farmer or two starting to seed their Spring crop into the fields. In the next week, I imagine Spring work on
the Palouse will be in full swing with lots of activity in the fields and
country gravel roads.
In dog talk it would be "mom quit taking pictures and lets keep walking" |
I wonder how many cups of flour is growing out there???? Early stages of winter wheat |
As promised, I have posted
my newest cake creation, a newer version of a peanut butter filled chocolate cake. J
When I experiment, I will tweak the recipes a bit
and see what works. Normally I write down what I did… this time I forgot what I had written and had to go back and try to remember and re-create it. This is what a creation of a recipe looks likes (above) and this is the end result (below)......Peanut Butter filled Chocolate Cake..... Also found on Cake of the Month
Peanut butter and Chocolate.... can it get any better??? |
Well glad you stopped in even if you didn't get to help me pack rocks or shovel 'em. I am always happy to hear from you, so feel free to email me at swheatfarmlife@gmail.com or leave comment. Take care and wishing you a very blessed Easter. All my best, Gayle
