Now I buy our bread! I still bake my husband's morning muffins. We don't eat too much bread anymore. <BR/>I never have ground my own flour either. I grow the wheat mostly for decoration! I like the idea of it. I feel connected, in a small way, to the fields and my grandparents. I also would love to learn to wheat weave. I have books but I think I would do better if I took a class or found a group of wheat weavers. I did some research and the closest group to me is three hours away. That would be okay to get started but if I had a question it would be a bit far to drive. <BR/>I hum a ditty. I just make it up! It is about the wheat and the way it nurishes and the "wheat fairies"!<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-88920174271771685872007-06-15T20:39:00.000-05:002007-06-15T20:39:00.000-05:00Hi Mary,I took the wheat growing photos early this...Hi Mary,<BR/>I took the wheat growing photos early this morning. The bushes behind the wheat almost looked black. I started growing wheat a couple of years ago. My Dad grew up on a farm in Kansas and talked about the wheat fields. I have also grown a small stand of corn in the past. One of these days I will meet some wheat weavers and learn how to do that. I grow an old variety of wheat, Turkey Red. It is what my great-grandparents grew.<BR/>I sowed oats this spring but so far I have yet to see much. I may have to read up on how to grow oats. I think it is too warm now to try again.<BR/>Please have two chocolates!<BR/>When our son comes over he likes one in his mouth and one in his pocket!<BR/>I always have chocolates.<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-25374823949189596172007-06-15T17:36:00.000-05:002007-06-15T17:36:00.000-05:00Do you make your bread, Q?
