Sky Meadow ( part 3 )

We've been spending some time at the local libraries in Greensboro and Hardwick. One time we walked into the the Hardwick library and there was Kip. My brothers friend that I met in Ohio. What are the chances that i would see him in this tiny town? It was very strange to see him.

While at the local food co-op the cashier guy asked if we wanted to know anything about the area because he was a local. I told him i was interested in breads and wanted to know if there were and good bread bakeries around. At that time Charlie from Patchwork Farms bakery was there and we were introduced. Charlie was in a big rush and super spacey. I was able to get his number. I called him the other day and asked if i could come by to see his shop. He said he was very busy but that he would call me in a week.

While the family was away Michelle and i did a lot of work hauling firewood to the trail and chopping down the perrenial beds. On certain days the moss , fog, and the silence would make it feel like we were in a dream.

I got a big confidence boost the day I decided to make up my own bread recipe. I always follow a recipe from a book, but not this time. I put in oat bran, wheat germ, flaxseeds, whole wheat flour and a little white flour. It came out pretty good. I'll keep making it but altering it till it comes out perfect. I've made the recipe twice so far. the first time I used sourdough staretd and a little active yeast, and the last time I used all sourdough starter.

Usually for Thanksgiving I go to Conneticut with my family. This year was different. We at lightly and went for a nice long walk. A couple days before Thanksgiving whitney, my parents dog tripped my mom on the stairs. My mom dislocated her elbow and went to the hospital in a ambulance. I hear she is getting better now and that my dad is helping her out a lot with cooking and driving her to work.
