damn things are hard to get in the sun...
from Cornell
The Ovenbird's rapid-fire teacher-teacher-teacher song rings out in summer hardwood forests from the Mid-Atlantic states to northeastern British Columbia. It’s so loud that it may come as a surprise to find this inconspicuous warbler strutting like a tiny chicken across the dim forest floor. Its olive-brown back and spotted breast are excellent disguise as it gleans invertebrates from the leaf litter. Its nest, a leaf-covered dome resembling an old-fashioned outdoor oven, gives the Ovenbird its name.
It really wasn't that cold! I couldn't resist taking a shot as she stood in front of a quite interesting window. Converted it to B&W as it had more impact to me.

Among the junk down in one of the coulees that I often take photos in is this old enameled oven from probably the 20's or 30's. It's rusting away in such a beautiful scenic place - helped along by the ubiquitous bullet holes in nearly everything down there. It's a bit funny, but all I could think of when I was setting up this image was some old farmer guy shooting this so his wife couldn't make that one dish...

That's right .... I made them in my trusty little Black and Decker toaster oven that is getting pretty old now. Things don't brown evenly and they do take a bit longer ....
It's been used through many a renovation and in times of trouble ..when an oven failed .... like it has now.
Sadly ...my fancy Miele stove oven has failed me. Such a disappointment. It hasn't been working since the week before Christmas ... when fortunately I had just finished baking some Tourtière ... but, did have to beg a neighbour to use hers for the unbaked several batches of cookies and tarts I had ready to go and no oven of my own to use.
Nobody could even come to look at it until Dec 30 ... at which time two guys showed up and decided it is a "relay" of some sort that has conked out. So... now is ordered....but, no word yet on the ETA of such article .........
In today's climate and the situation of ordering and receiving parts, pieces or other items for repairing things..... I can't even hazard a guess as to how long it will be out of action.
I can't bake bread in this little oven...but, I can still do muffins... albeit smaller ones than I usually make.
These are fruited muffins... using raisins, dried apricots and some mixed peel .. so they are a bit festive ....quite tasty.
I'll print out the recipe later today or tomorrow...
The town of Cokedale, located in Las Animas County, Colorado, is a former coal mining town. The rows of coke ovens were used to produce coke from coal. the coke was used to produce Iron and steel.
We often float down the river to Bright's main swimming hole from here. My son and his friends also jump the rocks for fun on a hot day.
