This was our sunrise yesterday. 
Though it turned out to be a calm gentle day full of gardens, food and family.
The Vegan Sunflower Crackers is more of a method than a recipe. Heat your oven to 300F. Take one cup of sunflower seeds and 3 fat juicy cloves of garlic and grind well in the food processor. Then I added another cup made up of buckwheat groats, poppy seeds and flax seeds. (Use whatever seeds are in the pantry.) Salt to taste. Pulse until the mixture is smashed up. Add a little water and pulse again until it forms a ball that you can knead.
Place a sheet of baking paper on your baking tray. Empty the mixture onto this, flatten out with your hand, place another sheet of paper on top and roll out until very very thin. Score into little squares. 
Peel off the top sheet of baking paper and bake for about 20 – 35 minutes or until the edges are browned and crispy. Cool on the tray. Then break up. But stand guard. Every person who passes through the kitchen will try for a nibble!
We collected baskets of vegetables and jars of produce for our Young Vegan Cook to take back to her flat in the big city. Weeded the grapes.
After Tall Sid had shown her the joyfulness of playing with Sheila. 
Good morning. We are on a change over day. Sid and I will redress the spare room for another set of visitors coming tonight from the wilds of Canada. I am going to force myself to the supermarket to buy more ingredients and on the way back I will drive over to pick up the pork. The ham and bacon is not ready until Saturday, but tomorrow I am looking forward to a slap up roast of milk fed pork with Eldest Son and his Lovely Lady.
Good morning. Yesterday our washing machine spat the dummy and filled the house with smoke. Dead! But there was worse to come – John has been working on the coffee machine since 4.30 this morning. It is now 5.30 and we are both still dry. If Mercury is back where she belongs then I guess I just blame this on old well used machines breaking down at the most unfortunate times!
Have a lovely day. There is a bit much on my list for today actually but my visitors will be arriving late tonight so I think I have time. White Cat drinking his milk with the honey won the day yesterday and is up on my Pinterest page. I think my favourite today is the crackers! Of course there are none left so we will be making more of those today too.
I love feeding people!!

With that first image, I somehow read sunshine crackers in the post title. It fits. Yum.
Beautiful sunrise C, thanks for the great pic! The crackers sound delightful and healthy too. I’ll have give them a try.
Oh those crackers are a must! And I can use my chia and hemp seeds! 🙂 I hope that washer gets taken care of…you have enough work to do not to suddenly be forced into handwashing! Yikes! Enjoy your time with company. I sometimes feel our home is a bed and breakfast, so I know how much work it can be on top of everything else, but the opportunity to be with others really does enrich our lives! I’m sure yours is a very hospitable home! Your sunrise photos is gorgeous! oxo Debra
You will be hosting Canadians!?! Neat! I’m getting ready to fly up to Canada this weekend for vacation with my family, I can’t wait to see all my cousins and their babies 🙂
I tried to make rye crackers, they should be eaten fresh with cheese. Yours look yummy!
Mercury Retrograde, annoyingly, does tend leave it’s effects behind for a few days after it’s departed… Big Dog looks like he approves of the weeding efforts. Mentally, I’m going to try to sit awhile in your frog garden 🙂
Fabulous looking crackers and I love the basket in the garden. No coffee? No way.
I have a plunger and the italian coffee pot we will manage..no way indeed c
The crackers look irresistible – I think I’m going to break the habit of a life-time and get a grinder or whatever it is you need to make those ingredients mush together! Sad about the washing machine – those gremlins strike again – maybe just wear fig leaves in paradise???
Have to try those healthy and tasty crackers, so easy to make too. Your garden is so lush. Hope your washing machine is now fixed. Have a great time with your company.
Always a new angle or a new spot to see on the farm. How fun.
I think appliances the world over have some sort of pact. When visitors arrive, revolt. For me, though, no coffee pot in the morning is the worst. I’ve 2 back-ups so that will never happen again. I hope their visits go well, Celi.
what next i wonder! c
Good to see Sid getting down and dirty with Shiela………e
It would seem all your mechanical and electronic objects are going on strike.
Well, one oft buys all of one’s appliances almost at the same time [as when a marriage breaks down and HE keeps it all!] – been there, done that 🙂 ! Logic: most of it then breaks down at almost the same time and, of course, on the most inconvenient occasion!! Hope you thought of the superannuation!! Absolutely love the third lush photographic image down!!
Your photographs always make me feel like I want to go on holidays to a farm, away from the big city. But then I read your posts and see how hard you work (although i can tell you love it) and think again about my romantic notion of holidaying/living on a farm. The crackers look delish!
I love the cracker recipe and will definitely try it out. This is my kind of food! I’ll see if I can make some for my son’s birthday. What lucky guests, going back with lots of supplies and I’m sure fully replenished body and soul.
