Paper mess

 I have taken over the dining room table with my May Basket project.  It is a real putzy project. 

We had a quiet day, Far Guy had two naps.  I made scalloped potatoes to take over to my baby brothers, he was smoking a brisket...it cooked for 14 hours and then 2 hours resting. It was delicious!  We also had veggies and gluten free banana bread to go with ice cream with a chokecherry syrup topping! 

It rained in the afternoon and evening and I did a little laundry besides making the paper mess.


Can you guess which animal will be featured on my May Basket this year?

  2. The grey makes me think of coon, but the cloud form makes me think of sheep. I had not heard of May baskets till moving to the midwest. Your's have been so creative & cute the years I've been reading your blog.

  5. A lamb perhaps?

    Your meal sounds absolutely delicious. I've never actually eaten brisket. Yes, I know my life is lacking in many ways.

  6. A chicken? It has been raining here for days on and off so we don't have fire danger either which is so good! I didn't craft all weekend and I've been really tired so I rested all weekend and feel great today! I can't wait to see your May baskets!

  8. I have no idea what your animal is! That meal sounds absolutely wonderful. I have 2 briskets in the freezer. Maybe I need to drag out the smoker.

  9. That was my first guess, too--a black sheep.
    I'm not even sure if I have ever eaten brisket. Sounds delicious, though. :)

  11. I'd guess a unicorn to go with those grey clouds. Pokeberry syrup sounds delicius.
