You are always welcome at the scrapatch.
This my new front security door, door knocker and fall door wreath.
There is a new storm door, too.
Mr Scrapatch has been busy this summer weatherizing our drafty enclosed front porch
with new combination windows and doors.
We shall be very cozy this winter.
The door knocker is a claddagh ring,
which represents love, friendship and loyalty.

If you are unfamiliar with this symbol. Read Here.
Both of us are one of the 70 million people around the globe who are of Irish descent.
The weather has started to cool here and I have been baking bread again.
Like many people of the pandemic, I am trying my skills at making Sourdough Bread.
Most of what I have learned has been from
and recipes.
This is Rustic Sourdough using the "discard" half cup from my starter jar
to which the directions call for adding a tablespoon or two of yeast
to add stability and ensure the rise.
My hubby likes this recipe and I do not like to throw anything out.
This jar of starter is less than a week old.
This is the second jar I have started as the first one, started in the spring,
got a little too runny and discolored after a week of neglect.
I have read you can scoop out the discolored crust at the top
and use the good stuff underneath, but I am very cautious.
I had been storing my starter on the counter, but this new one is being kept in the fridge.
The washi tape line shows where it was last night when I put it in the fridge.
It needs to rise to double to be feed or used.
By next week I will be using only the sourdough to leaven and leaving off the yeast.
I will try to post another photo then.
The jam is from
Johnson Berry Farm
I found their yummy jams at a farmer's market on in Olympia, Washington,
when I visited my daughter's family while my son-in-law was stationed near there.
I now order them online and look forward to the lovely pink box
a few times a year.
The first apples and cider of the season are starting be available.
I love apple season!
It is Thursday so I shall enjoy a visit with my friends
