Going into winter and the greenhouse

It is hard to believe that I have been making my own bread now for two years. That is especially true when it comes to sourdough.

Quick post today. I was thinking of not doing one at all but then thought why don’t I just share a few images of the cosmos that are growing in my garden.

Getting something other than flowers
