Free Range Friday - So It Begins!

We just got an unusual out of the grey blue blast of rain so hard it sounded like hail. Really. The cat ran in looking seriously scared, she who chases pit bulls from the yard. Now it's just a steady, quickly lessening to gone patter that I hope doesn't return as today is bread and hot sauce day. Beyond the fact that the island is full of people ready to play on this Good Friday. Depending on your belief system, it can have a religious meaning, or just be a Good Friday, with a full moon thrown in for Good Measure.

April has some wonderful full moon names from different cultures; here are a few.

This is the full moon in March 2009, but I couldn't find an April one of mine

Wildcat Moon (I like this one a lot)

Bright and early yesterday, Bonilla showed up to do yet more work on the dinghy. All the extra fiberglass is now ground off and sanded, and if it doesn't rain again, which according to the radar, it shouldn't, more will get done today. Woo hoo!

I've added a specialty bread to Friday's line up and this week it is red wine and cheese bread. The recipe sounded really good but I'd never made it before and was a bit nervous, but having tasted it fresh from the oven, I'm happy with it. I mean, it's like eating the food pyramid with wine inside. Even for pre-dawn breakfast, it was good! Next week will be...well, I'm not exactly sure yet. I'd like to try sun-dried tomatoes and olives. Maybe.

Have a free ranging Friday! Do something faithfully.
