I have finally mastered the wheat bread recipe. We've had some pretty dense bread with hard crusts this past couple weeks. I had read one website that said you didn't have to use bread machine yeast. So I just bought regular yeast. A book that Kevin's mom gave me said that if you use regular yeast, you need to use a little more and gave the measurements. Yesterday I finally made the perfect loaf of bread. We had hamburgers last night for supper, but we all had to have a slice of bread. I am going to start making two loaves and putting one in the freezer so that I'm not lugging the machine out every couple days. Next up...pizza dough!

Yesterday was a beautiful day and I got a load of laundry hung out. Today is supposed to be the only nice day and then rain ALL week. I wake up to CLOUDY and cool. I would like to be all caught up on laundry so I don't have to use the dryer so much next week. Since Kevin has redone the bathroom/laundryroom there is more room so I am going to buy a couple drying racks. This way I won't be using the dryer as often at all, even if it is raining or snowing.
The boys and I need to go to the post office this morning so I am counting on the clouds to go away. I can drive, but I don't want to.

We had a frost, hail damage and my tomatoes are looking good. We just lost one plant. The peppers, beans, onions and carrots all look great. My flowers are iffy. Kevin says they are fine, but they aren't filling out their pots as I wanted them to, yet. We are definitely looking into perennials. I want pretty spring flowers, not waiting for pretty flowers all spring.
