The Gift of Bread


We really like our new neighbors.  They are a young couple with a young son.  The dad is the one who has made by hand all the small fences that surround different plantings on their front bank.  When they first moved in, I brought over a coffee cake that Kathy had made.  Later on Kathy made some cookies and I brought those over to them as well.  On one visit I was told that the neighbor's wife loves to bake bread but they were so busy with setting up the house.  Yesterday the doorbell rang and the husband was standing on the front porch, holding this loaf of sourdough bread wrapped in a kitchen towel!  I thanked him profusely and we immediately sliced a few pieces off the warm loaf and buttered them, and this bread is out of this world!  What a wonderful gift!

What a wonderful treat! Alex has been baking bread since the start of Covid and it has been so much fun to see how each loaf differs from the next. I have definitely acquired my “Covid 19” since this all began. Enjoy!!
