The premise is simple….come up with a title for a post using only six words.

For over a year now we’ve been back to bread baking at Montgomery’s Inn. It’s all run by volunteers. On Thursday three of us go in and warm up the outdoor oven for the next day’s bake and prepare four to five batches of bread dough. On Wednesday, five of us do a variety of jobs to get ready for the afternoon Farmers’ Market where the bread is sold. We make two batches of sour dough bread and sometimes focaccia, get fire started to heat up the oven, shape the bread, let it rise and then put it into the oven to bake.

All the money that is made from the sales goes back into buying more supplies and funding projects at the Inn.

When Space Limitations Prevent a Contribution

I have never worked in a large format before and I was determined to give it a go. I bought two blank canvases that were 30″x40″ and when put together as one piece I would have met the minimum requirements for the show “A Large Art Affair”. When I got home and hauled the canvases to my small studio I realized that my small space wouldn’t allow me to paint on such a large surface. So for now, my purchase sits in the hallway outside my bedroom. I’m hoping in the summer when the weather warms up and we can open the outdoor studio again, my husband will let me share his space. The other option is to paint up at the cottage where I have lots of room.

In the meantime, the show “A Large Art Affair” has been installed and is now open to the public. Here is a sampling of what the Dignam gallery has in store for the visiting public.

Today in High Park the squirrels were out and about, running up and down trees and through the tall grasses. I had my telephoto lens with me and was able to capture these beauties.
