Gatto knows how to make the world go away.



I know how to warm the kitchen on a chilly day.


The next three days will be snow, then rain and then snow. We do need the moisture but couldn't the weather gods just pick one? Silly question.

The moisture is slipping away here also. We usually have abundant rain, enough for the crawfish production to fill up everyone's onion sacks. But the rain escapes us at this moment.

We rarely had drought conditions but it's becoming more common, Tommy. I have never had crawfish. Are they like a small crab?

Miss Merry said...

70 degrees here yesterday, a night of thunderstorms and today it's 36. Bahh

Boud said...

Warm here today, this afternoon rain, then 40s f tomorrow, just pick one!

We've had the same crazy weather swings here. Your bread looks delish and Gatto has the right idea.

We actually had some rain this morning, but we need a lot more — if only we could trade. At least Gatto seems happy. 😊

Fingers crossed: I think we may just get rain and not snow or not much.

Sandra said...

We are 32 F and rain/snow all day, Miss Merry. We need the rain, so I'm not unhappy about it. Those large temperature changes are disorienting.

Sandra said...

It's a rollercoaster, Boud!

Gatto knows how to live the life, Linda.

We didn't have a lot of snow so we are coming out of winter dry, Cheerful.

Sandra said...

You have been working toward a world snow record, AC.

Great post.

Sandra, crawfish are boiled in a big pot; most households here have the equipment for boiling. It's a family, neighbor, sort of gathering, mostly it's one to two sacks of crawfish, plus onions, garlic, sausage, etc. you eath the tails and suck the heads. Hmm Good.

A regional delight, Tommy!

Gatto probably wonders why the humans are determined to stay awake and rush around.

Sandra said...

I think you are right, nick!

Ah ... the fun of spring and all that she brings with. Sunny here right now. Storm later. Great cat photo. Love the hiding.

And the bake. Love the bake.

Rain and more rain in NH and thankfully no snow is in the forecast. That bread looks wonderful, as always.

I wish it were as easy to make the World go away as Gatto is able to. The Bread looks delish, I think one of the scents of Heaven must be freshly Baked Bread.

Gatto is very smart and adorable! The bread looks scrumptious! Happy Easter to you.
