This is the first loaf of sourdough French I’ve made this week.
I’m back in Chincoteague in my test kitchen ( really Meredith’s kitchen, but I
don’t think she objects if I call it my test kitchen, especially when, as in the
next two weeks, she gets to test the results right along with us!)
That’s right- she finally gets to come home in the summer!
She’s never seen her house in the summer aside from in pictures- so yesterday
Cynthia and I planted up three huge combination planters of very beautiful
annuals and set them at the entranceways.
And I just made mini lemon cheesecakes to welcome her. Cynthia and Ally
are picking her up at Norfolk International Airport and Aiden and I are
waiting patiently here for them to get back. He’s patient because I talked him
into taking a nap. I am really not very patient- but I am waiting quietly so
Aiden will take a nice long nap!
We went out to the beach yesterday. The ponies were so close to the road
that I couldn’t resist taking a picture.
And there are all these great pictures of Aiden playing with the waves!
See the look of pure pleasure in his face?
And on hers?
Ocean magic!!!
I love all the smiles!! And I can’t wait to taste some of your creations from the test kitchen. Please give Meredith a hug from all of us.
There are smiles all around here!
Hug is given.
Bought some good coffee at Main St. Shop- so at least I’m enjoying my 6 AM awakenings.
Aiden and I are morning buddies while Ally goes on
bike ride- Oh the island life!
What happy faces! And a gorgeous loaf of sourdough! So glad you’re having a good time with your lovely family, Heidi!
Enjoy that precious family time Heidi. There is really nothing more special.
…and lovely looking sourdough 🙂
Hey, didn’t John Denver write a song about this post?
Almost heaven…West Virginia… 🙂
”almost” is right! West Virginia is a different state with no coastline. We’re on the eastern shore of Virginia- West Virginia is quite beautiful, lovely farmsteads and rolling hills and very green- but no ocean!
Sorry love, my knowledge of US geography is pretty pathetic. 🙂
You are such a thoughtful auntie, thinking of all the littles that will make her so happy to be home! And I LOVE the last picture of Ally!
