And tired to the bone is an understatement.<br /><br />The scones had dried cranberries and dried apricot bits in them -- really delicious and so rich they needed no embellishment. But your whole grain bread sounds pretty terrific! <br /><br />Re close ups -- I have the same difficulty -- mainly because I'm almost always in a hurry -- grabbing a picture on my way to do something else.

It is hard to stay ahead of the yards/gardens this time of the year. Mine is still raggedy looking, but I'm working on it! Last night when I mowed the grass, it was so thick (and still wet) it kept choking out the mower! <br />TammyTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131066591477169851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-15578235756484002162010-05-26T09:52:27.066-04:002010-05-26T09:52:27.066-04:00Oh, and by the way, have I mentioned the song &qu...Oh, and by the way, have I mentioned the song "Penny Lane" plays in my head every time I visit your blog?Tess Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889725786678984293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-44381728638874773572010-05-26T09:50:31.360-04:002010-05-26T09:50:31.360-04:00Your place is so idyllic!

You must have been tired to the bone, same as John, but what you created with your own hands is amazing! <br /><br />It seems you have the same sort of weather as we have here, April in May, rain showers and sunshine changing several times a day. I can see the weeds creeping up ... oopsie ... let's forget about them for a few days!<br /><br />Your mentioning John's scones make my mouth water! A little study break?
