There's been some sourdough baking going on at our house the last couple weeks. Younger son has made waffles and zucchini bread with his starter - both yummy! My "aha" with sourdough baked goods is that they are lighter than a similar thing made the traditional way.
For a couple years now, I've followed the Big Bear Lake bald eagle nest camera in California, and watched the pair of eagles, Jackie and Shadow, raise and fledge four eaglets. It has been fascinating and soothing to watch nature up close like this. Unfortunately, the female eagle, Jackie, recently got very sick, and in spite of being taken care of at a raptor rehabilitation center in the area, she died. So very sad. But it is the circle of life.
The nest cam will go on, and I imagine Shadow will find a new mate.
It will be interesting to see what happens as the time for nesting comes around again.
LeeAnna's question of the week is about what we're reading this summer - books, magazines? My answer is some of each! I've been a reader my whole life and always have a pile of books ready to go. Here's the current pile! At the moment, I'm reading Project Hail Mary. There are also a couple of ebooks loaded on my Libby app.
I do also like to read magazines, although I don’t currently have any subscriptions. One favorite has always been People magazine. I find it at the hair salon I go to! Travel magazines are fun, too - we usually order some from whatever destination we're thinking of heading to next.
