rising

I haven't been taking many photos lately.  Things have seemed too cold.  Too gray.  Too dirty.  And honestly, my head had been too stuffed up for me to feel inspired to do much more than knit and watch Netflix.  Thank goodness for the miles of stockinette stitching in the tangled yoke and movies like these.

But the winds are shifting.  As the little one says, it's getting warmer and warmer every day.  And just as the bulbs and perennials are starting to push themselves out of the softening soil, I feel myself stretching toward the sun.

And the sun has made its way into our kitchen.  In the colder months there isn't any direct sun in the room, but in the early evenings from now until September, the sun peeks through the window in the back door.  Today it helped ready the dough for another simple and yummy recipe from this book.  It's the European peasant -- flecked with touches of whole wheat and rye. 

My new favorite way to eat all of this homemade bread is slathered with chevre and ginger spread.  Now that I think about it, I wonder if this, in and of itself, could be responsible for pulling me out of the recent funk?

That loaf looks fabulous---I love the flecks in it.

And chevre with a ginger spread?! I might have myself a new food obsession...

It's snowing here in Seattle right now. (!?) I'm tring to appreciate it, but I think it would be easier with a loaf of homemade bread. Thank you for the inspiration. That photo is gorgeous!
