This morning's work: putting the fruit from the Fort Davis grocery store into my darling's new batch of breakfast fruit salad. I still have some dates left from last spring's trip to the Oasis Date Gardens. They'll be finished soon. I hope I'll be able to get more when we pass that way, assuming we pass that way. At the lower right of this picture is the garbage I generated. It's nice to be someplace where garbage disposal and pickup are easy!
There are a lot of places we normally visit when we arrive in Tucson. Clearly, we'll be skipping many...but I had been looking forward to making a trip to Barrio Bread. Their sourdough bread is made from locally-grown heritage grain blends, and it's outstanding. I wanted a loaf for Thanksgiving. I also wanted to stock up on their Barrio Blend of flour. Don, the owner, has been very careful about Covid-19 since the very beginning. The trip could have been made safely, with good social distancing, and I'd have been helping support the local economy. Don has been a leader in the "support the local restaurants with takeout" movement since last spring.
But. The bakery is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 9:00 am until noon or they run out. We'd have had to get in the pickup and drive there this morning. Neither of us could bear the thought. We plan to leave Tuesday, although that's subject to change. I'll just have to dream of his breads, keep slugging away at his bread-baking course, and hope that Hayden Flour Mills, which does mail order, can provide me with the right flour. @blue_dolphin indicated some time ago that it's similar.
It's just too pleasant sitting here in the Princessmobile, listening to quail calling as they wander through, and working on other projects, to want to drive anywhere today.
