Cotton Wants to Help Bake
Poor Cotton is feeling down and out because I won’t let him “help” me with my baking today. I suspect that it’s the chocolate chip cookies he’s interested in more than the dark chocolate peppermint bark. Either way he’s been banished from the house while the cookies cool off.
Strangely enough, neither Luke nor Lucy have seemed the least bit interested in what I’m doing. The neighbor boys and I poured concrete in more of the holes between the two yards this past Wednesday, and looking for a space to dig through seems to be foremost in their minds for the day.
The dark chocolate peppermint bark turned out even better than I’d expected. I had a small sample and was very pleased. I did try to share a piece of candy cane with Cotton, but he wasn’t remotely interested in it (he actually spit it out).
