my starter and I

We are getting along just fine now. I take back everything I said. About two days ago it decided that it was time to grow up and get out into the big, big world, and it suddenly swelled up to two-thirds of the mason jar. Needless to say, I was ecstatic!

This delightfully living starter is now safely tucked away in the fridge. I do hope it will still be alive when we get back. I cannot wait to see if it will actually work and raise my bread. It just doesn't seem entirely possible...
