Good Friday

​

Tonight we had a Good Friday service at our church.  I returned from it just a little while ago.  I had a bite of supper and then headed in to blog for tonight.  I decided that I wanted to post a photo of dogwood blooms.  I went to where my photos are stored with Amazon.  It was easy to search…typed in "dogwood" and voilà there were lots of dogwood blooms that I had taken over the years.  But the tricky part was figuring out how to move it over to my iPad photos.  I thought that I was just losing them out in cyberspace…but I ended up with two of the same photo that found their way into my iPad photos. (Insert eye roll!) I wanted a dogwood bloom photo because they are blooming all over at the moment…so pretty.  Also the azaleas are blooming…in my neighborhood…red ones, hot pink ones, lilac ones, and in my yard a really pretty large white one.  I will try to get a photo of it tomorrow…it was almost fully in bloom today…maybe all will be open tomorrow.  

Today has been a fairly full day.  I did go grocery shopping this morning…needed just a few things.  Again, enjoyed saying hello to quite a few friends.  I came home and put the groceries away.  Then got busy making chicken broth.  This time I used a chicken carcass that I had frozen one time when I had cooked a chicken, but didn't need broth.  It was nice to already have the bones needed for the broth…plopped in some celery, onion, carrots and garlic and let all that simmer away for most of the afternoon.  I now have it in the refrigerator cooling so I will be able to use it for a couple of recipes that I'm planning to make and then freeze the rest.  So "liquid gold" was made in my kitchen today.  According to many chefs homemade chicken broth/stock is considered to be liquid gold.  

I’ve done some stitching. There is a US flag growing under my needle.  I plan to get back to stitching after I finish getting dishes from the broth making into the dishwasher. There had been a possibility that Melany and maybe Wade and Erin might come tomorrow for a visit.  But Erin has been sick today…maybe a stomach virus, so they will put that visit off.  I will be seeing Melany next week when she comes to take me to the dentist.  So we will get in a visit…but it will be after her birthday.

To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
