Boy, this focaccia bread is super good. It came out of the oven about noon today and is already gone.
I might make a couple batches of cheese pennies this afternoon, or I may not. I feel kind of lazy.
Well, February came and went pretty quick. Since the last post we fell into a deep freeze then came out of it with spring-like temperatures for a few days. No more snow, but a bit of rain and all the snow on the ground is melted now. Anything can happen in March, any year, but there's not much in the immediate forecast right now.
And yes, I'm aware of everything political that's happened and is happening now. If you read regularly then you'll know how I feel, but it's all so obscene I'm just disassociating a bit right now.
My thoughts are slowly turning to spring chores, but I did notice yesterday that there was twine wrapped up in the snowblower. I'll have to take a sharp blade to it and clear it soon in case the snowblower is needed again. The twine is from getting too close to the hay mats they used to cover the grass seed out front after the street reconstruction. My wife already mentioned getting wildflower seeds for the stump area and I'm starting to figure out what kind of sunflower to try this year. And the more I look at the cable going to the pole across the street the more I want to cut it off the house. If we ever needed that coaxial cable again it would need to be replaced anyway due to the kinks from being held up so long (for the street reconstruction). Yes, lots of outside chores coming up, but it's mostly an enjoyable process.Until then, we'll probably just be riding out the last of this winter season. What are you looking forward to doing this spring?

We too have signs of spring everywhere, thankfully, and the days are much longer now too, which helps. We haven't had much snow, although a lot of very heavy frosts.
Wildflower seeds for that area should work well. But... take care choosing them as they will spread into the lawn (via the seeds) and you probably don't want buttercups in your carefully-tended green sward. Given that you already have hostas there, have you thought about something like borage? I've found that the two look good together. The bees and other pollinators love it, you can get white and blue (several shades) varieties, and its flowers are edible in drinks and salads. I might be tempted to put in some creeping thyme too. Fresh thyme would be lovely in your home-made breads.
