I made wheat bread. It’s been forever and a day since I’ve made this particular bread, and I don’t know why I haven’t made it in so long. It used to be a staple in our home.

We had snow. A good bit of it. Everywhere I look, snow. Okay, not everywhere. The roads are clear, and there’s a patch of bare grass by the birch trees. But mostly, snow is everywhere. For me, this is a very good thing. The kids and I had cinnamon rolls for breakfast yesterday morning. This … Continue reading Some Very Good Things
