Spring

Isn't far away according to the sounds I have been hearing. The coo-oo-oo of doves started in earnest a couple of days ago. It is amazing to me that the flimsy nests they build ever hold the eggs much less the young. There sure isn't as many around as there has been in the past. Today I must clean out the bird feeders. They have had frozen seed in them that turned moldy when thawed. Now just a gunky mess in the bottom.

Mixed up the sourdough bread this morning. It isn't real sour which suits me just fine. Hope to bake it off without problems in the @#*! oven referenced below. I may try to do one loaf in cast iron.
