Happy fall! I have some photos to share of the season so far, and they are some of the reasons we all fall in LOVE with autumn over and over again each year.
Corn fields….
Cotton fields…..
Sunflower fields!
Pumpkin patches…..
Pumpkin French toast and a sweet Pumpkin kitty!
Cool nights at the football field.
A fall porch with a freshly painted front door.
Fall flowers!!!
Coneflowers are my new favorite.
Starry walks!
A first fire with my morning coffee. Always coffee.
The cats are getting snuggly.
A mama bird nesting one last time for the year? I’ve read that in our warmer climates they will lay eggs as late as October and maybe even November.
I hope you’re having a beautiful fall season where you are!

Hi!
I was just looking through your blog and saw your sourdough bread pictures, again. If I recall correctly, you grind your own flour. Is that the flour you use in your sourdough bread? If so, I have questions! I am trying to make sourdough bread with freshly milled flour, and have been disappointed with the outcome. Mine don’t look anything like yours!
Hi, Cindy! For those decorative loaves that photograph so nicely, I use a mixture of unbleached white flour, bread flour, and my freshly milled wheat flour. I’m including a recipe below that works perfectly for those fun scoring techniques. I use this when I’m making bread for special occasions or when I’m teaching friends how to make sourdough. But for everyday bread, I just adjust the flour to include more OR all milled wheat. It will taste delicious but does not look as pretty! Thanks so much for reading and for the great question! Maybe I’ll do longer sourdough post soon! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your help!
The loaves you make are beautiful!
For the everyday bread, when you use all freshly milled flour, does it rise very high?
That’s the main thing I have struggled with.
It does not open up quite like it does with the white flour but it’s not totally flat either. Definitely denser but I adjust the amount of water and that helps. Whole wheat just seems “thirstier” to me and really soaks up the water so I change the ratio of water to flour and go more by the feel of the dough. I’m no expert whatsoever and I don’t have exact amounts written down but next time I play with it, I’ll record what I do and let you know! Have a happy Thanksgiving!!
I’m so happy your blog is still going! It’s one of my very favorites and gives me such inspiration 🫶
Well you just made my day! That is so sweet of you. Thank you, Jenny! 🥰 I hope you’re having a lovely fall season. 🍁🍂🍁

Noticed this week how beautiful your front door looks!! I have been using my pumpkin coffee cup you got me last fall 🍁😍
I was hoping the door color would pop enough to be seen from the street.😄
Aww, glad you’re enjoying your mug! 🎃
