Pioneer Woman at Heart

  Posting late this morning, and after the sun is coming up.  We slept grand last night.  My husband set up a motorcycle ride with some friends and family on Saturday.  We were literally on the bike from 10am to past 7pm.  It was a long day, but a very nice ride, and we both needed it. Although, the ride day put us behind on the chicken coop, it was great weather for us.  When we arrived home, the wind picked up, due to neighboring weather, and the island ferry (hour away or so) shut down.  The wind was that bad. That's me on the left.  The homesteader with a passion for riding our motorcycle.  A friend took this photo. Marble Lake, Coldwater, MI.  I thought we were in Quincy, ha ha!  That's the fun of a ride.  We did go through Quincy, but the ride ended at Marble Lake.  Beautiful trees, and blue water there. I'm terrible at getting photos on a motorcycle ride day. My cell is in the trunk of the bike the entire time, as i...

Are you wondering if I got anything new done yesterday?  Or if I put a chair on the porch and split open radish pods? Nope. Not a thing. Nothing.  Zippo. Nada. Why?  How did this happen?

. . .  lavender bags finally made.  It's been on the "after craft show" to-do list.  I used scrap fabric for the bags, and the smallest scraps of yarn to tie the bags with.  My dresser drawers now smell lovely. . . . finished this granny square scarf for upcoming craft show (if they still hold it, weather may be an issue).

I made a loaf of bread using the recipe Sam I Am shared at her blogspot - farmgirlsam . How did it turn out? Pretty darn good if I say so myself.  Thanks for the recipe! Hubby and I were to be meeting up at 7am this morning, and riding the Triple Nickle Ride today.  Last night those plans changed.  It takes great concentration to ride a curvy, twisty road, with hills and surprises at the top.  He came home in pain from the dentist last night.  That's okay.  I think we'd rather go do that ride, and stay the night vs. ride the motorcycle back late, and so tired.  It's about a 60 mile ride, but first you have to get there.  Getting there takes about 3 hours. I had accounted for the loss of gardening time for this ride too, but taking advantage of being home now. Guess who is driving now?  Youngest just went to the "Big City" and obtained her driver's permit.  Last one to learn to drive.
