BAKING DAY.... BRYAN COMING BACK.

 When the propane stove is hot... lots gets made.  Crackers, Pumpkin Pie, Bread Loaves, Hamburger Buns, Butter Tarts and finally Rhubarb Muffins. (recipe at bottom).
Bryan is returning and he quit smoking three months ago.

The barn swallows are starting to get more adventuresome but they still are in the porch 3 or 4 times a day and sleep in the nest at night.
